Arc-Insights

Welcome to jambit's Innovationstory "Arc-Insights"

The RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND; Editor Network Germany) and jambit bring Arc Publishing – the content management system of the Washington Post – to Germany.

MADSACK media group is the first German media house to license "Arc Publishing" for RND. As implementation partner, jambit is realizing a unique innovation project in the industry, on which all publishers' eyes are focused.

The Washington Post Software as a Service (SaaS) solution is proclaimed the global publisher and brand leader. But: how does Arc actually work? What really happens in everyday project life? And, might Arc be a solution for my company?

These and many other questions are discussed and answered in our exclusive project presentation "Arc-Insights" on March 28, 2019.
