Daily Sentinel invests in DTI SaaS Solutions

Digital Technology International has announced that The Daily Sentinel, in Grand Junction, Colorado has become the first publisher to implement the entire suite of mission-critical DTI publishing solutions as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

All solutions will be served via DTI Cloud, which has been engineered as the industry’s fastest, safest publishing cloud, according to DTI.

The Daily Sentinel, owned by the Seaton Group of Manhattan, Kansas, USA, is a long-term DTI customer for previous generation publishing products. Under this new agreement, their existing DTI ContentPublisher and DTI Advertising software will move from on-premises to DTI Cloud. The Daily Sentinel’s commitment to the cloud publishing business model will expand, adding DTI Financials and DTI Circulation, completing the DTI solution suite in DTI Cloud.

“We appreciate DTI's continued commitment to developing the next generation of publishing software and making it available today,” said Daniel Humphries, publishing systems administrator, The Daily Sentinel. “We know that with DTI Cloud, we will be able to better adapt to the rapidly changing realities of newspaper production in today's economy.”

“The Daily Sentinel's relationship with DTI spans almost two decades and we're proud to be able to continue our partnership,” continued Humphries. “We embarked on a project to examine options from vendors that would provide a holistic approach to newspaper production. In the end, our team was impressed with not only the improvements to the DTI suite of software, but also the technology behind it. It was clear that putting the entire suite in the cloud will better suit our long-term needs.”

“When selecting our cloud publishing solution, a major strategic factor for The Daily Sentinel was the vast reduction in their own hardware needs, and therefore their capital cost requirement,” said Dan Paulus, vice president, Sales, Americas. “The Daily Sentinel did an in-depth ROI analysis to confirm that DTI Cloud would save them money overall. DTI Cloud will eliminate their on-site servers, and also decrease their future workstation cost. In addition, having their solutions in DTI Cloud ensures they will always enjoy the very latest version of each DTI solution, which was one of the group’s main goals – and provides them with a major benefit.”

All of DTI’s publishing solutions are in live daily production via DTI Cloud at more than 200 newspapers. Some publishers are running from one to three DTI applications. The Daily Sentinel was the first to choose to deploy all DTI solutions via DTI Cloud. DTI’s publishing data centres are located in Arizona and New York, serving publishers across North America, and in Frankfurt, Germany where it can serve customers across Europe, including the United Kingdom and Ireland.
