Roxen
Roxen Internet Software is a leading European software development company, providing cutting edge editorial and content management software.
Roxen Editorial Portal
Roxen Editorial Portal is a revolutionary product for publishing media companies. It is completely web-based. Whether you are the Editor in Chief or the star reporter, from now on you only need a web browser to plan and manage your publications and write and edit your content. Of course, it works on both Mac and PC.
Because the system interface is browser-based there is no need for software updates on the client side. Editorial staff can therefore use whatever computer they have and still get access to new functions, interfaces and services at their desktop, wherever they are. Roxen Editorial Portal gives you a new way of making newspapers and magazines.
Modern web technology offers a whole new platform for implementing, using, improving and maintaining software, and enables editors to access a complete production environment through a regular browser window - a new paradigm for daily newspapers and magazines. Welcome to the future.
Roxen's technology has been developed and refined since 1994. The system is built upon open web standards (XML and AJAX), which enables smooth integration to e.g. Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress and Adobe Photoshop.
