Hocalwire CMS : The Swiss Army knife for your Newsroom

The Swiss Army knife was a great innovation during the world war era. The soldiers needed to carry most handy tools, compact and intact, which could help them perform simple operations using the short spear point blade, scissors, screwdrivers, and even a can opener. This enabled them to be much easier to carry around and had a utility beyond the standard set of tools that are heavier to carry. Likewise, a digital newsroom demands a lot of tools for fetching the news, editing it, optimizing content, getting it delivered to the audience, and ranking high on the internet. That's a lot of weightlifting and tools involved, but Hocalwire CMS is here to save you in the journey of digital publishing.
