Follow our journey in the US
A blast from the past
The story began on the other side of the ocean, when Octopus NRCS was installed for the very first time in the Czech Republic. Yet, expansion to the United States had always been a goal of ours.
Octopus completed its first installation in the United States for Aljazeera’s Washington bureau in 2007. This provided us with new prospects in the United States, and together with continued product development, enabled us to establish our first offices in the country. The New York office allows us to keep a close eye on trends and demands in this growing industry.
The US is now a top destination for our products. These are spread all over the country in more than 20 newsrooms. Likewise, cooperation with local technology partners ensures a fully-adaptable solution for news production.
