Next-generation newsroom with OpenMedia
CGI’s flagship newsroom system, OpenMedia, is being redesigned to use a modern, proven technology stack that can run anywhere, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid deployments. Being developed in close collaboration with broadcasting teams, the new OpenMedia platform follows a human-centered design approach. It will deliver a faster, more intuitive, and highly scalable platform for both traditional broadcast and digital-first environments. Current customers will continue to receive support for OpenMedia Classic, with a smooth evolution path to the new platform planned to support operational continuity and a seamless transition.
“The redesigning of OpenMedia reflects a fundamental shift in how newsrooms can operate across hybrid environments,” said Michael Pfitzner, Vice President and Subject Matter Expert for Media at CGI. “We have reimagined the platform from the ground up, with a modern architecture and a human-centered user interface that gives broadcasters the flexibility to deploy wherever their operations demand, while maintaining the robust functionality that mission-critical newsrooms require.”
