From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CCI Europe is a software company based in Denmark that publishes newspaper production suites such as CCI Newsdesk, CCI NewsGate, CCI AdDesk Sales and CCI AdDesk Production. Its products are used around the world. Clients in the United States include The Oklahoman, The San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The Columbus Dispatch and The Boston Globe, among many others. In Latin America it is also used by the chilean newspaper El Mercurio.

Newsdesk uses an Oracle database to allow reporters, editors and graphic designers to work on content at the same time. Newsdesk combines elements of Microsoft Word and a proprietary pagination program called CCI Layout Champ, although newer versions of the software can work with Adobe Indesign. Newsdesk also integrates with programs for tracking and formatting advertisements. NewsDesk runs in a client-server based environment. Both PC and Macintosh is supported as clients and the servers either run Solaris, AIX or Linux.

NewsGate is an XML-based content management system that allows content to be created for, and reused in a number of products and media.

The company was founded by Stibo A/S, a Danish printing company in 1979. [1]
