Case studies
Livios Start to Build
Livios Start To Build is an interactive platform that allows visitors to post questions about the steps involved in building a house while offering the possibility to document their own build through mini-journals (http://www.starttobuild.be).
The Open Source Web Content Management platform Drupal was chosen because of its user-friendliness towards visitors keen on sharing their build and interacting with other publishers through comments etc.
The biggest challenges in realizing this project were:
Case Study:Mediafin Fast websearch
As part of its efforts to enhance quality, Mediafin, the publisher of these newspapers, decided to introduce FAST on its news websites, www.tijd.be and www.lecho.be, making it the first Belgian media company to select this search engine. The revamped news websites of De Tijd and L’Echo were launched on 22 May. The project was aimed in part at providing readers with an even better search experience. This was achieved using FAST, an intelligent search engine that is part of Microsoft’s product range.
Case Study: IBBT Collaboration Platform
Full implementation of a collaboration platform for the IBBT. This platform (MyBBT) enables collaboration between project staff with very different backgrounds and working in different locations (within universities, firms, governments or non-profit organisations), irrespective of which infrastructure they have available to them in their own organisation. The platform also offers a simple communication channel between al these parties. So people working on a project can exchange documents, create profiles, edit blogs, start discussion forums, etc.
Case Study: Tessenderlo Group Intranet - TGShare
The TGSHARE platform is used for several sub projects: maintaining ISO procedures, document management for departments and as a product portfolio tool. By using MOSS, Ceylon and the standard site templates, TG manages to offer a total view on the Project Portfolio of Tessenderlo Group
Case Study: Stad Leuven - Website
The city councel of Leuven was no longer satisfied with their existing website and management platform. A multitude of sites were created for different city departments outside of the CMS which were all hosted on separate platforms and maintained decentrally. That proved to be very cost inefficient. Leuven chose SDL Tridion as their new, centralised web content management platform.
Case study: Province of Antwerp - Website
The Province of Antwerp coordinates about 70 departments and agencies ranging from services, schools and sports infrastructures to parks, domains and museums. The province wants to offer citizens a unique point of entry to everything that it has to offer. Citizens can consult a centralised area on the website for applications that they want to submit to the province. The entire website is managed and published from a central Content Management System (SDL Tridion). All departments and agencies have access to that system and can add content in a structured manner to specific navigation buttons. Approximately 50 authors, editors and editors in chief received training and are actively using the system.
Case Study: Indaver - 'Indanet' Intranet
Indaver chose Moss 2007 to drive their DMS needs. Amplexor installed “Indanet” based on Moss2007 where end-users collaborate on department, project and customer level. By using Ceylon, a quick overview on projects and customers is accessible.
Case Study: Fedict - Federal Portal 'Belgium.be'
The Federal Portal V1 was outdated and difficult to manage. Therefore the Federal Government invested in a new portal based on SDL Tridion. The main goal was to categorize the content (more than 10.000 pages) by using ‘themes’. Furthermore, the team of content-editors was extended and organized because the SDL Tridion setup facilitates content sharing for the whole government.
Case Study: CultuurNet Vlaanderen - UiTinVlaanderen.be
UiTinVlaanderen.be has the ambition to become the ‘best in class’ portal site in Flanders and Brussels, offering a complete overview of all (cultural and other) activities in this region. The new site replaces the popular Cultuurweb.be site (5.000 unique visitors/day), and provides more content (including non-cultural), context (related multimedia, restaurants, maps, ...) and interactivity (share, newsletter, widgets, ...). All “UiT-tips” are easy to consult and share for its users.
Case Study: Argenta Web Content Management Project
Argenta’s website was outdated. A completely new information architecture resulted in more user-friendly navigation and content structure. The new site Introduced the concept of “virtual branch office”; the visitor can opt to select the office where he performs his daily banking operations and as a result, the corporate site becomes personalised with information from the local branch. The new site integrates with back-end systems to update the website automatically with daily fund values, adapted interest rates and the latest simulation parameters.
