Tourism Australia Sets Its Sights on Open Text
Announcement posted by OpenText 25 Mar 2009
Sydney – 25 March 2009 - Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), has announced that Tourism Australia has gone live with its Web Content Management solution from Open Text.
The Open Text Web Solution will power two major websites: australia.com (http://www.australia.com), Australia’s official travel and tourism website and the major website to promote Australia as a tourist destination; and media.australia.com (http://www.mediaaustralia.com), a new website that provides information to both domestic and international media representatives on news, events and promotions occurring in Australia.
The new sites will enable Tourism Australia to eventually standardise on the Open Text Web Solutions platform with one knowledge base across the organisation. This will create efficiencies, reduce costs and facilitate the rapid update of information and maintenance.
“Tourism Australia’s digital strategy is integral to our worldwide marketing effort to promote the depth of Australian holiday experiences available,” said Geoff Buckley, Managing Director, Tourism Australia.
Australia.com and media.australia.com join the existing businessevents.australia.com website which has been managed through Open Text’s Web Solutions for the past three years.
“Just like destinations themselves, we need to continue to offer new and exciting reasons for people to keep visiting our websites. Australia.com, which is the primary call to action for our marketing initiatives globally, provides consumers with planning and motivational content to inspire them to travel to Australia. The site is available to people across the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in eight languages.
“In addition, our media.australia.com website services international media to ensure that news about Australia is available to journalists across the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Mr. Buckley.
