Helping Newspapers Succeed in Digital

We have been leading the digital revolution for the newspaper industry with one of the world's first digital newspaper editions in 1993. A few years later, we developed what became Austria's leading online newspaper with our first web-content management system (1997) and one of the first mobile newspapers (1998). Every year, we develop new innovations, like the world's first voice-controlled ePaper in 2014, and e-paper heat-map analytics in 2017.

At the heart of our products is the "Content Backbone", a deeply integrated Asset Management System for the newspaper industry, that is acting as a central platform for normalizing, storing and re-using content in all digital channels. 

Though our company is still tiny, our product is already used by the leading quality newspapers of four countries (Germany, Austria, Dubai, India). You will be involved our international client relations and get first-hand experience with some of the most interesting media companies in the world.

Extremely informal, flexible and international work environment

Recently we moved to a great new house that gives us ample space and even has a garden and rooms for visitors to stay, which we use for our yearly or twice-yearly gatherings. Developers who work here have their own office. 

If, like most of us, you prefer to work remotely, you are very welcome to do so. We have been successfully doing this for over five years and we are totally used to daily Microsoft Teams conferences/Scrums. 

Our work climate is extremely informal. Our team comes from four different countries (Austria, Russia, Bulgaria, Philippines), and English has been practically our only company language for many years.

If you want to move here, the surroundings of Gilching are fantastic. It is located in an area with five large, beautiful lakes and regarded as one of the best places to live near Munich. 

Enterprise Web Applications and Mobile Apps

Our current client-technologies for the Media System and the ePaper are primarily HTML and JavaScript with jQuery. We have been developing web applications since 1996 and already in 2003 we created our first single-page web application with the ePaper. Our iOS ePaper app is developed natively on iOS (in ObjC) and our Android app is a hybrid using Cordova.

On the server side, we are running on the Windows platform and have a large existing application that is a mix of C++ (for low level, performance parts), COM+, Classic ASP and some newer parts in C#/.NET. 

The next version of our COMYAN Media System will use C#/ASP.NET Core on the server and a single page web architecture on the client. 

Our database we have been using MS SQL Server very successfully for the last 20 years with some huge database installations. All our platform software and tools are on the latest version.
