Live Center is a flexible and customizable live-blogging solution that gives journalists the power to deliver up-to-the second live news coverage, such as sports events, elections, breaking news, weather and other streaming or time-critical news. The solution offers a mobile-friendly and intuitive editor, allowing reporters to work seamlessly from their desk or right from the heart of the action. With Live Center, journalists are able to easily create content and pull in social media posts, capture videos and upload them directly to the platform, or enrich the reader experience through icons, giphies, a live chat functionality and more. Thanks to its customization possibilities, Live Center appears as native to customers' platforms and further enables the embedding of blogs within articles, news portals, apps or on front pages. It also integrates with existing CMS, media libraries, or other third-party systems, allowing users to reuse content elsewhere on their platforms and increase the overall ROI from live blogs.

Working with developer Norkon has been a joy. The product solved our (many-faceted) needs admirably to begin with, and we have been able to improve the user experience (for both journalists and readers) continuously since then.
This is a mature product, with a set of features that reflect a history of continuously responding to the needs and requirements of working journalists. The flexibility of the tool is reflected in the fact that our newspapers use it for covering everything from ice hockey games to music festivals and political meetings, and the user-friendliness is reflected in the fact that hundreds of local journalists have been able to start using it with very little training.
The tools for reader engagement are a bit clunky and difficult to use, and as a consequence, they are litte used - despite the obvious potential of including user content and comments in Live Center.

LiveCenter proved to be good solution for us in regards to create dynamic news content on our website.
LiveCenter is fast, responsive, easy to use, intuitive for users, easy to implement and straight forward to customize.
Nothing I can think of. So nothing, really.

Very positive.
At the time of setup LiveCenter was the only product that could meet all of our needs with regard to integration with our app.
Everything is good about this product aside from the price.

Extremely easy to use - Reporters have found the platform easy to set up and navigate, as is illustrated in the number of live blogs they produce Fantastic customer support - The team are always on hand to offer guidance, fix any issues and implement new features
The only feature missing is the ability to close a live blog and, with it, turn off all automatic updates in an instant but this is a very minor issue for us

With Live center we have got a more up to date live reporting tool for our news sites. We have been able to update our presentation and live reporting.
The admin interface is intuitive and ready to use with just a little introduction. The user interface is clear and there are options for different presentations.
There have been some unnecessary clicks instead of the possibility to tab to the next command. But in our dialoge with Live center their response have been understanding and emmediate.
