MONRIF NET was created at the beginning
of 1999 by Monrif Group, with the objective of developing
innovative projects in the new communications sector.
The Poligrafici Editoriale and the
Monrif Group expand their interests to the multimedia sector
through this new company, aiming more and more to incorporate
the world of traditional information and the world of new
communications, and taking advantage of the extraordinary
opportunities offered by the internet and the new tools of
the information technology.
The websites of the Group's newspapers (ilrestodelcarlino.it
- lanazione.it
- ilgiorno.it) represent
the on-line version of the paper editions and take advantage
of this medium offered by the internet in relation to the
traditional publishing (real-time updates, articles and news
archives, links to detailed sections etc.). Special attention
is devoted to local news, more difficult to reach but extremely
appreciated by "surfers" who are always looking for news useful
to their everyday life.
Quotidiano.net
is the pinnacle of an on-line newspaper. It was created from
scratch, not as digital edition of an existing newspaper,
but the main objective is to deliver instantaneous news from
all over the world to the other on-line newspapers of the
group.
Monrif.net,
the website of the Monrif Group and of Poligrafici
Editoriale, has as an objective to provide numerous services
to Internet users with particular attention to provide broad
and detailed information, thanks to synergies with the publishing
infrastructure of the group.
- Free internet access
- Free e-mail service
- 50 MB of webspace for the creation of personal websites
- Mysearch: efficient and easy search engine for searching
the web and newspapers
- Creation of internet communities based on information,
sports, games and fiction
- MySms, free messages to mobile phones
- SMS on mobile phones of selected news information and
sport
It is important to underline the innovative character and
the success of this last project, has been made possible due
to an agreement with the TIM (the main mobile phone company
in Italy); the technological platform for the transmission
of news to mobile phones through the SMS system (short message
service).
In the future we expect a strong development of Monrif.net
in the new technology sector through the creation of a sub-portal
in each Italian city which develops information, services
and e-commerce and the ownership of emerging companies of
the New Economy which supply technology and facilities for
the Internet.
