Testimonial
"Hurricane Sandy represented a difficult challenge for our company.
We publish three community weekly papers on the East End of Long Island.
Sandy was poised to strike on a Monday, so we mobilized early and had critical staff gear up to send our first section to the printer on Monday, a day earlier than normal. We uploaded our PDF to the printer and within minutes the power in the building began to surge. We shut down our electrical mains and went completely on generator power, which we were forced to use for the next four days. We also shut down our SCS servers, while we waited for the hurricane to pass.
Several members of our editorial team live-blogged during the height of the storm and our readers responded by following along and adding their stories. We typically average approximately 25,000 page views per day and during our storm coverage we averaged approximately 75,000 page views at (www.suffolktimes.com).
We then restarted all of our systems and produced our main sections using SCS/Track, Layout-8000 and as of this week, SCOOP. This event truly pulled our staff together; we worked as a team. It also made us reflect on our great partnerships with companies like SCS. We will take them by our side when the circumstances are good or difficult like they were during Hurricane Sandy." -Andrew Olsen, Publisher, TimesReview Newsgroup, Mattituck, NY
