Webvision – market leading CMS
Webvision is our flagship CMS developed for the media and publishing sector, serving the digital needs of business, consumer and institute publishers. It is a true multichannel publishing platform that sits at the heart of your digital infrastructure, driving content to all channels – desktop, mobile, tablet and print. Most content management systems are clunky and a chore to use, requiring endless configuration, but Webvision is different – it just works.
Our depth of experience and specialist knowledge of the industry has enabled us to develop a unique CMS that is easy to use, simplifying the production process and putting you firmly in control of your content. Because Webvision requires no technical knowledge to use, it is proven to reduce your operational costs and increase staff productivity.

Drive revenue from paid content
Publishers and media owners need to monetize their digital content and Webvision provides the tools to do this. Flexibility is the key – there is no one-size-fits-all approach that works across the industry, so the technology must permit trial and error so you can find the sweet spot for each of your products and brands.
Webvision puts the publisher in control of the content and access model for all channels and device types – web, iPad/tablet and mobile. Non-technical users can change layouts, create new sections, embed widgets, data and visualizations, or reorganize archives of content using the CMS, and then define the gatekeeping rules for each channel. This is really powerful.
True multichannel publishing
In an age of device proliferation, it’s no longer enough to offer your customers content delivered only via the web and in print. Information consumption habits have changed forever now that we all have smart phones and tablets, and publishers need to ensure they are offering their customers choice and value for money.
Webvision supports genuine multichannel publishing – one CMS for all channels. This means that all content production can be controlled via one workflow using the CMS to create, edit and manage different versions of the content for delivery to each channel (web, mobile, tablet and print).
Take control of your content and your customers’ experience – using Webvision SPIN technology you decide on the presentation and format of all content across each channel, creating an optimized and relevant user experience.
Mobile and responsive web design
At Abacus, we can develop a fully responsive web design experience or individual templates optimized for screen size for mobile, tablet and desktop. Our HTML5 web app templates are the perfect solution for delivering a unique tablet experience via the browser, avoiding the cost of building multiple versions of native apps for iOS, Android and Windows platforms.
Our creative teams have been designing award-winning websites for more than 10 years, scooping the major PPA and AOP digital product awards, as UBM’s Property Week achieved in 2012. We make this possible because our CMS is closely coupled with the website, mobile and web app frontends, so that we can design beautiful end-to-end solutions for our clients, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Want a native app? No problem, we have teamed up with Kaldor to integrate Webvision with the PugPig platform which allows Webvision users to publish content to native apps delivered via Apple’s Newsstand, Google’s Play store, and Amazon’s Kindle store (Blackberry 10 support coming soon).
Increase productivity
The Webvision user interface utilizes the latest browser technologies to vastly improve usability and minimise page-refresh, offering a simplified, optimized workflow meaning content creation, editing and publishing has never been easier.
A W3C standards compliant WYSIWYG editor has been integrated into the system for an intelligent editing experience recreating everything that’s useful in a word processing application through a browser. This is combined with all the tools you need to enrich your content, such as image editing, quick tagging, a table creation wizard, and intelligent linking, all on the same page.
Webvision ships with Media Library to help users organize and publish their digital assets (images, audio/video and files). The system feels more like an e-commerce experience with many time saving features to improve production workflow – like adding all your assets in one trip via the shopping basket; or saving your favourite assets in a lightbox for quick retrieval.
End-to-end digital solutions
Flexibility and open standards are fundamental requirements when selecting the right CMS platform and Webvision provides both whilst enforcing tight presentation and design control.
We have developed a suite of products which integrate seamlessly with our core CMS platform – including paywall technology, sophisticated events publishing, and company directories – or we can work with other systems to meet a specific project brief; including enterprise search, e-commerce, social media applications and mobile platforms.
Our technology partners include Autonomy, Madgex, Telligent, Kaldor and DataCash.
Webvision is driving digital revenue for some of the biggest players – Centaur, EMAP, Thomson Reuters, TSL, UBM and William Reed – and best known brands in the industry.
“It is absolutely key to have a single tool at the centre of our digital activity. Our job is to focus on content creation and distribution. Webvision enables us to create a single piece of content which is sent, immediately and automatically in the correct format, to one, some or all of the different platforms, allowing us to concentrate on the quality of our content without worrying about how it is delivered to the audience…"
