The Associated Press has released a new version of its newsroom production software, ENPS Version 7, in a significant overhaul that gives the system a new look, interface and tools.

AP estimates that more than half of all the broadcast news in the world is produced on ENPS.

The upgrade pays particular attention to new features for producing news content for multiple platforms.

"This new version of ENPS brings our customers and prospects the most advanced news production system on the planet," said Lee Perryman, director of ENPS, in statement. "It removes obstacles other systems put in the way of true multiplatform production."

New features include a new interface; features to more easily create content for broadcast, online and social media; integrated; calendar-based planning tools; and an ENPS Dashboard with a custom view of the day's latest information -- wires, media, assignments, etc. 

Existing ENPS customers can get the upgrade at no additional charge.
