Connecting Planning and Publishing Without Duplicate Work
How Purple and Kordiam Connect Editorial Planning and CMS Without Copy-Paste
Please note: This webinar was held in German.
How much time does your editorial team lose to copy-paste between planning tool and CMS?
Topic planned, article created manually, metadata maintained twice, and still no one knows the current status. It doesn't have to be this way.
In this webinar from March 25, 2026, our CEO Stephan Heck and Robert Dönges, Partner & Integrations Manager at Kordiam, showed how to connect planning and publishing without duplicate work. Robert brings over 30 years of publishing experience and introduced editorial planning for 21 local editions at Südwest Presse, among other projects.
According to kress pro, Kordiam is the most widely used planning tool in German-language editorial teams. Joint customers such as OM Medien and Börsen-Zeitung are already using the seamless integration successfully. No theory, just real practical insights in 45 minutes.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- No more duplicate work once planning and CMS work together
- A live look at the Kordiam and Purple integration
- From the practice of joint customers like OM Medien and Börsen-Zeitung
