About Televisual Televisual Data Ltd. was founded in 1992 by Alan Gibson, who has spent 25 years working in the newspaper systems industry, originally working as a consultant to IFRA on computer typesetting and later as a European sales manager for Scitex and Muirhead. Gibson set Televisual up as a newspaper archiving service for scanning and digitizing paper archives for CD-ROM storage. It is now launching entry-level versions and has adopted Asset as the family name.
All levels offer unlimited access and unlimited users.
The Televisual Content Management off-site archiving service converts paper and Quark XPress or PDF digital documents to searchable databases. It operates from offices in Dundee and Dunoon, Scotland. Most customers are magazine publishers, such as the UK's large EMAP group. Finally, the company also offers its own online multiple newspaper content archive that's available by subscription or on a one-time access basis. It currently holds about 5 million records, mostly from UK regional titles plus several national titles from Mirror Group Newspapers and Associated Newspapers.
