Morris DigitalWorks™
is an innovative multimedia
development company that provides Internet-based
products and services for Morris properties and external clients. The
division was established in 1995 primarily to help Morris newspapers
create and implement a World Wide Web publishing strategy. Today, most
Morris newspapers and other business entities have thriving online operations,
many of which have earned national recognition for their innovative content
and service to the community.
Teams at each property manage local Web sites,
while the corporate online staff in Augusta handles hosting, software
engineering and design consultation.
Morris DigitalWorks™
has earned industrywide
respect for its development of advanced Internet
publishing tools, such as mdClassifieds and
SiteWeaver. These software products and others, field-tested by Morris
newspapers across the country, have proven effective in enhancing content
and producing revenue.
The products are actively marketed outside the
company as well, and are now in use by newspaper and non-newspaper clients
alike, indicating a bright future and an increasing concentration of
support for the division's software development goals.
Morris DigitalWorks™
also provides commercial
Web site hosting services for thousands of businesses across the nation.
The computer services component of the division implements and supports
business, financial, operational and production systems for Morris newspapers
and other Morris properties.
