alfamedia is pleased to announce that the Attenkofer media group from Straubing has placed a comprehensive order to modernise its editorial infrastructure. The contract focuses on the migration to the powerful EditorialOrganiser system while retaining the proven NewsSuite platform, as well as a migration from AdSuite to Postgres. Other components of the project include the provision of system software and the use of Duden Korrekturserver to make editorial work more efficient.

Preparations for the implementation at Münchener Abendzeitung are already in full swing in order to have everything ready for use by the new year, while the media group’s complete changeover is scheduled for autumn 2025.

‘We are particularly pleased that the Attenkofer media group has decided to return to us,’ says Michael Marcks, CEO of alfamedia. ‘Their trust in our solutions is proof of our innovative strength and the added value we offer our customers. Together with Mediengruppe Attenkofer, we are working on making 300 editorial workplaces fit for the future.’

With this order, alfamedia is continuing its successful collaboration with the Attenkofer media group and supporting its digital development in the media industry.
