ALL-TIME™

MEDIA

FOR MEDIA THAT CAN’T LAG.

In media, on-time is everything. The world is waiting. Content must be collated, published and delivered to customers punctually, without exception.

In a ruthless and unforgiving environment, one missed deadline can have serious implications – for revenues and reputation. Organisations must deliver, while keeping their technologies and processes up-to-date.

THAT’S ALL-TIME™.

Our services provide peace-of-mind that content will always go live when, how and where it needs to. We offer dedicated infrastructure, along with tailored and targeted back-up facilities. So, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong – you’re covered.

Few business operations are more time-sensitive than the production of a daily newspaper. Especially when it has to be delivered to a global audience of over 1.3 million.

Business people everywhere rely on The Financial Times’ authority, integrity and accuracy. Which is why it has never failed to produce a paper in over 100 years.

A constant, uninterrupted flow of information between well over 1,600 FT editorial, production and distribution staff is crucial – because being late to print wouldn’t just damage a century-old reputation, it would also cost hundreds of thousands of pounds in sales and advertising.

We make sure that its deadlines are never, ever missed.

GUARANTEEING PUNCTUAL PUBLISHING, EVERY DAY.

KEEPING STUDENT EDUCATION AVAILABLE.

Students have always been impatient. But never more so than today. They want to learn on their own terms – when and how it suits them.

The educational material they require is no longer constrained to a library. It’s found in independent bookshops, national high street chains and online stores.

Competition between publishers is huge: if books are unavailable, students will simply look elsewhere.

World-renowned publishing house, Oxford University Press, competes with huge commercial publishers across many countries – in over 40 languages. So, any failure in its stock control or distribution would seriously affect its business.

Oxford University Press relies on us to keep its core systems up and running – and its books on the shelves.

WE’RE A SMALL TEAM WITH MANY CALLS ON OUR TIME, SO I PARTICULARLY APPRECIATE THE HELP AND SUPPORT I GET FROM SUNGARD. WE’RE NOT THE BIGGEST ACCOUNT BY ANY MEANS, BUT WE’RE ALWAYS MADE TO FEEL VALUED AND IMPORTANT.

David Weston IT Infrastructure Manager, Oxford University Press

MAKINGLEARNINGACCESSIBLE,ALL THE TIME.

Learning is continuous. So, education must always be available. Teachers, students, job-hunters and local authorities alike demand the latest information to share with classes, colleagues and communities. Anytime, anywhere, and on any device.

For TSL Education, IT availability is everything.

As the UK’s largest teaching exchange platform, it receives 500,000 online visitors, two million downloads and thousands of calls every week. It has also published the Times’ Educational Supplement for over 100 years, and its Higher Education magazine for over 40. On-time, without fail.

Consistency defines TSL. The slightest service interruption would damage revenue and reputation irreparably.

We ensure this never happens by providing Managed IT Services that keep TSL’s platforms always available. And should a disaster ever occur, we’d get critical systems up and running again inside three hours.

DEALING WITH A COMPANY THAT HAS THIS LEVEL OF CREDIBILITY IN THE MARKETPLACE GIVES US CONFIDENCE THAT IN AN EMERGENCY THEY WILL BE READY AND WAITING TO REACT.

ENSURING NO DEADLINE IS EVER MISSED.

Magazine publishing is ruthlessly punctual. Copy and production deadlines simply can’t be missed. Clients and customers won’t wait. Any delay can damage relationships, advertising sales, subscription figures, and ultimately reputation.

Newhall Publications knows how important it is to be on-time, every time. It produces Candis magazine, the UK’s fourth largest subscription-only publication, with 750,000 readers and a circulation of 240,000.

We give Newhall access to a dedicated back-up site, for its design and production staff to use whenever they need it. So, if the unexpected occurs and their own office is put out of action, its employees can use ours, be up and running in under four hours, and still do their jobs – seamlessly.

SUNGARD OFFERED US THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY OF ALL THE PROVIDERS WE LOOKED AT. COMBINED WITH ITS REPUTATION, EXPERIENCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IT WAS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE.
