[September 12, 2011] InterSystems Awards Press Computer Systems for Application Tweet Sep 12, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- InterSystems Corporation, a global provider of advanced software technologies, announced that Press Computer Systems has won the InterSystems Award for Breakthrough Applications. In a release, the Company noted PCS chose the InterSystems Cache high-performance object database as the foundation of a new application architecture. "Cache enables us to use elements of content as objects, to work with them and to output them in different ways, to different media, and to multiple locations quite easily," said Philip Walker, Managing Director of PCS. "In the past, producing a newspaper meant stopping news production in order to get the paper out. "Our digital technology actually changes the way that news operates. You can keep rolling with updated news and we can take that model and implement it across multiple different markets and verticals. "The entire publishing process becomes easier and ensures that material is always accessible for re-use. We've architected the system to be the digital archive for the newspapers... they will have access to everything written for the past 35 years as well as about 16 million pictures. We're using iKnow to reindex the info and as soon as a new story or picture comes in, it's immediately text mined. "We are also engaged with multiple clients external to Claverley and are about to begin marketing internationally." The recognition came for PCS Knowledge, a fully integrated multimedia publishing and digital content management system. PCS Knowledge provides collaboration and process management functionality. With InterSystems' semantic analysis technology called iKnow, Knowledge can associate and store related structured or unstructured content including text, sound, video, images and sources so that a story or its elements can be retrieved based on queries and associations. PCS is a unit of The Claverley Group, a U.K.-based news publisher. "Knowledge integrates very advanced technologies, some of which are completely new to the newspaper industry," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning. "This system is enabling new ways of working in a market sector that relies on innovation for competitive survival. It is our pleasure to recognize the success of PCS and its breakthrough application." "We feel that we're going to change the way that publishing companies work here and abroad and we're extremely pleased to be recognized with this industry award," said Walker. InterSystems Corporation provides technologies for applications. Press Computer Systems produces tools for customers across the publishing spectrum.
