| The Challenge |
| Because of their important international expansion EIM Controls needed to revamp their web presence and provide an extranet for their key distributors. The corporate web site was to provide an international distributor locator available in multiple languages, training classes scheduling and registration and allow product and engineering documentation distribution. The portal solution needed to be configurable and the web content management user interface easy to use for non technical staff. |
|
| The Solution |
| A highly versatile web content management solution enabling multiple languages web page maintnance using the Notes client. EIM non technical personnel is empowered to create cascading menus, web pages, schedule training classes, make direct changes to the distributor's information and distribute PDF documentation. |
|
| The Benefits |
| The corporate web site and B2B WebSphere Portal site provide valuable online resources and tools, demonstrating an on demand business during the company's rapid expansion. EIM Controls was able to dramaticaly reduce web pages translation costs by allowing localized personnel to translate web content from English to the local language by simply providing the appropriate content access to the application. Web content is always up-to-date as maintnance is fast and easy. Product and Engeeniring documentation available 24/7 helped improve customer/distributors satisfaction and reduce localized distribution of outdated documentation. |
