In addition, by deploying a single editorial system across the company, we will be able to fully utilize the extraordinary news-gathering capabilities of our newsrooms.”

Through cloud computing DTI Cloud provides Sun-Times Media a dramatic way to increase efficiency in the news production process, and the ability to respond to the constantly changing demands of digital news publishing.
