Presence Online Scoops City of Beverly Hills Web Content Management Contract
Announcement posted by Presence Online 17 Jan 2002
Attracts Attention of US City Organisations
Leading global integrated solutions provider Presence Online and its American business partner Edgesoft, Inc have clinched the contract to provide the web content management solution for the City of Beverly Hills.
Local governments generally have very stringent requirements for their technology solutions and do significant due diligence when evaluating different product offerings, commented Presence Online Director Adam Ginsburg. The City of Beverly Hills win, however, is particularly significant as it is one of the worlds few full-service city organisations - managing everything from police, fire and planning, to transportation, public works and parks and, as such has a high profile globally.
The choice of Aptrix Multi-Platforms WebSphere Platform Edition (WPE) - over Interwoven and Percussion - bears further testimony to the citys status as WPE is Java-based and Java is increasingly being seen as the web-based language solution of the future. The development of our Aptrix Multi-Platform WebSphere Edition clearly opens up a whole new window of opportunity for customers keen to take advantage of both Java and the leading-edge Aptrix functionality, said Ginsburg.
Presence Onlines Aptrix solution is initially being used to re-build the citys public site, which provides information services to local business, residents and visitors, and will later be used for the citys intranet site development. The content management contract with the City of Beverly Hills is a joint venture between Edgesoft and Presence Online a prime example of business partnering, said Ginsburg.
This is the second American city organisation win for Presence Online, which recently secured a significant contract for the City of Philadelphias Department of Human Services intranet. This contract involved the implementation of the Domino Edition of Presence Onlines Aptrix Multi-Platform web content management solution.
When it comes to web content management and the ability to leverage the features and functionality of entire platforms, Presence Online is clearly in a league of its own, said Ginsburg. Today, Aptrix is the only web content management application that can fully integrate the capabilities of both Domino and Java platforms, as well as IBMs WebSphere Software and J2EE Server.
Ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of web content management technology, Presence Online is releasing upgraded versions of its Aptrix Multi-Platform WebSphere Platform Edition - 2.1 in January 2002, and its Domino Platform Edition 4.0 - in February.
