Tourism Australia Sets Its Sights on Open Text

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +1000

Tourism Australia has gone live with Web Content Management solution from Open Text.

Waterloo, March 25, 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, Australia’s official travel and tourism website and the major website to promote Australia as a tourist destination; and media.australia.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 standardize on the Open Text Web Solutions platform with one knowledge base across the organization. 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 Buckley.

Open Text Web Solutions, part of the Open Text ECM Suite, ensure an engaging user experience by integrating, managing and optimizing content, databases, file systems, and Web 2.0 applications. Content can be managed, translated and distributed across dozens of countries and sites globally. The Open Text ECM Suite, the company’s flagship offering, brings together the broad range of content management capabilities organizations need to securely and safely manage all types of enterprise information – documents, vital records, Web content, video, images, email, forms and reports – across many different enterprise systems and applications.

In addition, Open Text will also enable Tourism Australia to further facilitate its plans for digital marketing, including enabling access to Tourism Australia’s interactive websites from mobile devices and delivering content securely to any target, channel, device or audience with context and personalization.

Open Text Web Solutions Add Global Website Deployment Capabilities

Mon, 9 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +1000

Web Solutions for Multi-Sites Helps Customers to More Cost-Effectively Localise and Manage Multiple Global Web Sites

Waterloo, ON. - Open Text™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced availability of the latest release of Open Text Web Solutions. Available to customers now, this new release offers a number of additional enhancements to what is already a core strength of Open Text Web Solutions: Helping customers translate, manage and synchronise multiple websites worldwide. Web Solutions is an integral component of the Open Text ECM Suite, the industry's most comprehensive suite of content services used by tens of thousands of organisations worldwide.

The enhanced functionality is part of a complete solution called Open Text Web Solutions for Multi-Sites that gives customers everything they need to develop a global Web presence. It helps large enterprises to more efficiently share corporate information, leverage existing translation memory tools such as Across Systems® or SDL TRADOS®, and to personalise the user experience. For small and mid-size businesses, it provides a simple and cost-effective tool for expanding globally.

The challenge of managing global websites across many markets is growing as companies work to establish their brands across many diverse markets in an increasingly competitive global arena. Customer communication in a local language is growing in importance in marketing and sales, and is critical for companies trying to expand in key markets. Websites are a critical part of this equation but many organisations are overwhelmed by the processes involved in managing multiple sites across many countries.

"The challenges of building an effective Web presence across diverse markets around the world are greater than ever, as user expectations become increasingly sophisticated," said Daniel Kraft, Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy at Open Text. "With the latest release, we've made it easy to share and distribute content on a global basis to ensure consistent branding, and to attract and engage visitors in their native language on a site that is personalised to reflect their culture and needs."

For organisations with a global presence, Web Solutions for Multi-Sites adds new content distribution services that make it easy for Web localisation teams to share and update content via a centralised content pool. Team members are automatically notified when content changes or updates become available. Once localized content is added to this pool all countries that use the same language can use this content for their local websites. A new Content Translation Management module offers translation workflow integration, expanded support for computer-aided translation tools, and export to standardised XLIFF formats. XLIFF, which stands for XML Localisation Interchange File Format, streamlines the exchange of localisation data among companies, vendors and across software tools.

Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG, a world industry leader in electronic interface and industrial automation technologies, uses Open Text Web Solutions in conjunction with the firm's SDL TRADOS Translation Memory system to ensure prompt translation of content.

"We manage 43 websites in 27 languages with Open Text Web Solutions," said Carsten Rheker, Internet Project Leader for Phoenix Contact. "For our Web editors the system is very easy to use because all the workflows can be driven through the same Open Text user interface. With just a few mouse clicks the language can be selected and the translation process started. From there, it runs automatically."

Open Text, with more than a decade of experience in leading Web Content Management (WCM) software, provides Web Solutions to create, manage and deliver the content that drives business. The content management and delivery solutions are recognised throughout the industry for their legendary ease of use and feature leading multilingual support; enterprise Web 2.0 capabilities; content integration; and contextualised delivery. From mid-market to enterprise, more than 2,600 organisations around the world rely on this expertise to create, manage and deliver personalised Web experiences for their intranets, extranets and Web sites.

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +1000

Due to overwhelming requests from RedDot Customer Day 2008, we have re-invited digital strategist Nicole Still to host this webinar.

So you have a website and an Intranet, but did you know:

Brand websites are on decline and inefficient Intranet currently attracts less than 50% of employee logons.
More people visit search engines than brand websites. Is a search strategy an equal priority to your website strategy?
CMS can help with optimise search. How does your CMS help you?
Video will soon surpass search on the Internet. What about YouTube? How does it relate to your website or Intranet?
Facebook and social networking sites are becoming more popular than ever. Does your Intranet or website cross-link to Facebook? Does it make sense?
More people have mobile phones than computers with Internet connections. How does your website fit into your mobile strategy? Does your Intranet send company update via SMS?

Through the prism of her experience as a digital strategist for Fortune 500 companies including Unilever, Microsoft, Adobe and Holden, Nicole Still helps you navigate Digital 2.0 and get the most out of your website or Intranet.

Baxi Group Chooses New Web Platform from Open Text

Tue, 2 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +1000

Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), announced today that Baxi Group, one of Europe's biggest manufacturers of domestic and commercial water and space heating systems, has teamed up with Freestyle Interactive and Open Text’s Web Solutions Group RedDot, to launch new websites for its Baxi brand in the UK and Italy.

The Open Text web content management system allows employees from across the company to create, edit and approve web content before it goes live on the website. Baxi Group’s marketing departments are now able to take complete control of all online output and messaging, which will reduce the cost and time associated with outsourcing web management to third-party agencies.

Baxi Group worked closely with RedDot, Open Text’s Web Solutions Group, a dedicated team of web solution experts, and Open Text business partner Freestyle Interactive, which helped with the design, build, hosting and implementation of the new website, incorporating the latest web technologies from Open Text.

Luke Vanhegan, Group IT Development Manager at Baxi Group, said: “For a brand-led organisation like Baxi Group, our online offering needs to accurately reflect our visions and corporate identity. The new-look website will not only enhance the way our organisation communicates with consumers, installers, suppliers and specifiers, but will also dramatically change the way we approach managing our online content.”

He continued: “Using Freestyle to design and execute the websites in the Open Text environment has worked very well for us. Our partnership with Freestyle and Open Text will enable us to develop our online strategy in greater depth across the Group.”

Andy Bellinger, Country Manager for RedDot in the UK commented: “We are delighted that Baxi Group has chosen Open Text’s RedDot as its preferred web content management partner. Companies are increasingly looking for rapid, affordable and dynamic ways of delivering their corporate communications and messaging across their global websites and we are confident that the new system will immediately transform the way Baxi Group does business.”
