The Omaha World-Herald Increases Revenue Opportunities with New Health Guide Supported by SAXOTECH’s Directory Publishing Center

SAXOTECH’s fully integrated solutions continue to provide forward-thinking technology; new
incremental revenue opportunities allow media companies to capture and monetize niche markets
Tampa, Fla. - March 14, 2011 - SAXOTECH, a leader in content management, circulation and
advertising solutions, announced today, the Omaha World-Herald, Nebraska’s only state-wide
newspaper, is live utilizing SAXOTECH Online and SAXOTECH’s Directory Publishing Center. The
combined solution provides the World-Herald with a new online vertical to provide comprehensive,
authoritative health information to its community and a rapidly deployable health directory connecting
six Nebraska communities to their local health and medical specialists and services.

The World-Herald’s Live Well Nebraska (http://www.livewellnebraska.com) enables the media
company to create a new Health Guide directory that integrates relevant news and advertising content
from the main web property of Omaha.com, which is powered by SAXOTECH Online. The Directory
Publishing Center provides the World-Herald with the opportunity to present a unique section-front
capable of including coupons, sequenced list views with enhanced listings and a “portfolio page” with
the merchant or service provider’s detailed information.

Self-Service for Advertisers and Users
Key advantages of the Directory Publishing Center give local doctors and health service providers the
ability to directly add more information to the directory through an easy-to-use self-service application.
Simultaneously, the content management system also gives the World-Herald the flexibility to
administer components or behaviors to an advertiser’s listing and create additional up-sell opportunities.
The end result is that the community discovers a wealth of local health information that they can add to
with the ability to provide moderated ratings and reviews on the doctors and medical services.

“The Live Well Nebraska vertical provides a holistic appeal that is far reaching for the consumer and the
health care professional audience members,” said Jeff Shabram, vice president of digital and director of
digital advertising, Omaha World-Herald. “It is a forum with comprehensive health related content
where the Directory Publishing Center serves in the conversation to drive the audience to a healthcare
provider or wellness service.”

Customization for Niche Directories
SAXOTECH provides elaborate customization services for the Directory Publishing Center giving the
World-Herald the ability to create any type of specialized directory or vertical information site. The
opportunities for niche directories are endless and present lucrative profit-generating potential for any
market.

“The Omaha World-Herald is a great example of how a media company is willing to embrace new
technology and create additional sources of revenue, ultimately building a more connected community
of users,” said Ed Ross, vice president of sales (Americas), SAXOTECH. “We are please to be working
with the World-Herald and believe they have a valuable solution that will expand to additional
applications throughout the coming year.”
