Falmouth, ME (December 13, 2011) — Celsius Technology Group LLC , a leading technology developer of open platform publishing solutions today announced the successful deployment of the print and web editions of The Lebanon Democrat, one of three papers published by Lebanon Publishing Company that are scheduled to go live with Celsius Publisher.
The Lebanon Democrat is a daily newspaper based in Lebanon, Tennessee, with approximately 8,500 subscribers and serves the greater Wilson County area along with its two weekly sister publications, The Hartsville Vidette and the Mt. Juliet News. “We needed a print-to-web solution that we could implement without the need to acquire expensive hardware and software,” said Amelia Hipps, Managing Editor of The Lebanon Democrat. “The Celsius platform gives us a consolidated solution for content management while enabling distribution channels that will support new revenue generation.”
The Lebanon Democrat website incorporates a number of enhanced features that make for a rich and rewarding experience for visitors. The site makes good use of Celsius’ photo gallery module with a feature called “You Spotted” a community photo gallery where users upload their photos and videos. The gallery feature is also used to rotate coupons for area stores that viewers can print, clip and use. The business directory offers a tiered fee structure that gives businesses the option of purchasing a premium listing space for a prominent display presence in the directory. The site also includes two web cams that give viewers a birds-eye view of what is going on in the town square and the grounds of the Wilson County Fair site.
“Celsius Publisher is designed to enable the newsroom to operate as a cohesive team by providing the means to combine multiple formats of content for publish to print, web and mobile devices” said David Costello, president and co-founder of Celsius. “The Celsius solution enables company owners and decision makers to concentrate on growing the business instead of getting bogged down in the content process issues.”
