Cologne, Germany (ots)
Together with Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Siemens Business Services and Avinci, the Düsseldorf-based specialist publishing house NewMediaSales.com presented the first International CMS Award yesterday. Based on the dynamic Content Management System (CMS) pirobase from the software company Pironet NDH , the AXA Finance portal won first prize for the most successful CMS project in the Internet sector.
Altogether some 30 CMS project descriptions were submitted by the various candidates to NewMediaSales. In addition to the business utility and user-friendliness of the platform, the Jury, comprising CMS integrators, CMS users, independent CMS experts and press representatives assessed primarily the future investment security and the value-added of the entire project for the operator.
With the relaunch of the web-site www.axa.de, which was conducted in cooperation with the Internet consultancy and pirobase integration partner Framfab Deutschland AG, the AXA finance portal went online in early 2001 and boasts an exciting array of attractive functions and features. Performance, fail-safety, a high degree of interactivity and the integration of external applications were all afforded primary consideration in its realization.
The integrated modules, a dedicated area for online contract management (My AXA), a convenient tariff calculator and useful financial news and tips, together with the AXA products form a comprehensive range of information and services both for existing and prospective customers. AXA decided to operate its portal application comprising more than 2600 pages on a powerful SUN E4500 hardware platform with the operating system Solaris.
Expressing his delight at having won the CMS award, Albert Dahmen, the responsible IT Unit Manager at AXA commented: "We see ourselves reaffirmed as the technological pioneer in our sector. Following our multi-channel strategy we are continuing to invest in innovative technologies in the interests of customers. Over many years, pirobase has proved itself to be a successful, comprehensive platform for Content Management within our Group."
