And to complicate things I hear the version of CCI that we're interested in also has an Indesign front - something called Newsgate (?) Do you have any expereince of that? |
To clarify a little bit:
CCI currently has two products, NewsDesk and the newer NewsGate. Both can be full production systems, including a front end system for content and pagination/production. Both can use LayoutChamp or InDesign.
NewGate is meant to be a holistic content management system -- housing everything -- budgeting, story notes, research, assignments, photos, graphic, multimedia, etc.
But the InDesign implementation is ... less developed into the workflow than LayoutChamp. It gets better in future versions -- when it will pair InCopy as the editing tool to go alongside InDesign.
It appears that NewsGate eventually will be the main offering from CCI. It's silly for CCI to have to products that essentially do the same thing (though NewsGate does more). Trouble is, most CCI sites are on NewsDesk and nobody is in a terrible hurry to spend still more money to move to a "new" system.
But NewsGate is definitely what they are pushing for new installations.
