ESI live with ConTextual

ESI Media, owners of the London Evening Standard, The Independent and London Live are now using ConTextual to manage their Contributors, initially for The Independent. As for many publishers, controlling contributor commissions and accounting for them can be time consuming and difficult to do. Using ConTextual makes the process far easier, is transparent and provides a workflow with configurable approval stages. In this instance the system is running within AWS, thus reducing the need for internal servers and associated support team. Future phases should see the system more widely used across the brands and we will continue to add further functionality over the coming months.
