Friday 13 of March is the first day at NTB Scanpix where they use FileTrain for the distribution of all their images. FileTrain has replaced the old system which has worked for a long time but now needed replacement and the choice was Laidback Solutions FileTrain application. FileTrain will distribute between 75 000 to 100 000 image files per day to FTP´s and local folders.

One of the leading media groups in Sweden, the NTM-Group, has decided for Cargo. The Cargo system will be integrated with the AdBase system from Newscycle Solutions. The goal is to increase efficiency right from the start by creating more automatic and streamlined workflows. In the end Cargo will handle ready made ads, files for ad production and this goes for both print and online.
The project is already started and installation and configuration is done during February.
The NTM-Group publish 10 daily newspapers, 17 free newspapers, 15 different web sites and 4 different local TV-channels. There are about 1500 employees and a turn-over of approximately 1.8 billion SEK.

Hallpressen is a business group of 12 newspapers who have run Cargo for years. From March they are upgrading their ad booking system to the latest version of AdBase from Newscycle Solutions. Cargo and Cargo Connect will be updated to meet new integration demands and we are planned to be up and running late February.

The big Norwegian newspaper group Amedia (66 different papers) increases their use of FileTrain. There are more and more of the file handling that is being centralized and automated and Amedia has chosen to use FileTrain as their standard tool for this matter.

Lärartidningar Produktion has been a Cargo user for years and are now deciding to increase their modules to gain extra productivity. Lärartidningar publish 14 different magazines.
