PRIMAGAS, one of Germany's largest energy suppliers for private and business customers (www.primagas.de), has opted for a new intranet based on CONTENS to expand and improve internal communication.
Highlights include an integrated exchange interface, automatic authentication through single sign on and numerous widgets and modules for personalization. With the exchange interface, every user can see new mails and tasks as well as upcoming events on the intranet home page through Microsoft Outlook. The automatic authentication allows fast access to the intranet without extra registering.
Numerous modules are available for individual home page personalization such as a currency converter, a DAX chart, or a weather application. Additionally, widgets on the home page can present intranet content in a customized fashion. For example, threads can be subscribed by including a forum widget to show the thread's newest posts on the home page. Widget and module containers, allow different elements to be individually placed on the personal home page via drag & drop.
Anika Bahr, Head of Marketing, is happy about the new intranet: "By launching the new PRIMAGAS intranet we provide our employees with an innovative and effective instrument that simplifies internal communication and better unites our inhouse as well as our external staff members. The bundling of important internal information on one platform allows us to - share news faster and to avoid information loss. Combining information management with individual configuration options is exactly the right approach to optimize internal work flows."
In addition to the intranet and the website www.primagas.de, the company also runs other websites on CONTENS. The CMS can manage several websites in one installation which simplifies administration efforts considerably. With CONTENS, new websites, microsites, or target group portals can be created quickly and with very little effort. It is especially advantageous that content can be used multiple times on different websites and, if required, also in different layouts. Thanks to the user-friendly user interface, even less frequent users work fast and efficiently with CONTENS.
The technical implementation was performed by CONTENS Professional Services in close cooperation with PRIMAGAS and the company Saatchi & Saatchi.
