Roberto Antoniotti serves as vice president and general manager of the Unisys Global Media industry group in Europe. Based in Milan, he is responsible for continuing to grow Unisys successful editorial solutions and services business within the European newspaper and magazine market. The Unisys Hermes 10 solution suite, released in 2003, has proven to be a success in the marketplace with many new clients implementing the solution and existing clients upgrading to this version.
Roberto brings to Unisys more than fifteen years of innovative technology leadership in the publishing market. In 1990, he co-founded TERA, a provider of editorial software and solutions for publishers and led the company’s growth until 2003. The company first developed a book pagination product that later led to a key alliance with Hyphen, whereby TERA was asked to develop an editorial system that Hyphen sold to newspapers worldwide as Hyphen Editorial System (HES). Upon Hyphen’s liquidation in 1995, TERA supported all HES customers directly and developed a number of key components that were integrated into the editorial system.
Under Roberto’s leadership, TERA continued to grow, establishing offices in multiple countries and developing leading pre-press and publishing systems including archiving systems. By 1998, TERA’s GoodNews and TOPIC products had been installed in more than 100 companies in the UK, Europe and U.S. By 2001, TERA had established divisions in Latin America, Asia Pacific and the U.S. In 2002, Roberto started TERA Business in order to maximize sales channels for the TERA product line. Roberto was responsible for attaining some of the largest editorial projects in the media market, including The New Strait Times in Malaysia, Diario Popular and Valor in Brazil, and the Caxton Group in South Africa. |
