EJOT Group is placing its bet on ContentServ in the Internet and in catalog production
(firmenpresse) - Wolnzach, April 3, 2007 – The EJOT Group, leading manufacturer in the field of joining techniques in Europe, is modernizing the production of catalogs in various languages and is drawing up a new multilingual Internet presence as well as an extranet. With this move the company wants to unite the corresponding editing and publication processes on a single platform. The CS CMS-Suite and the CS PMS Suite by ContentServ GmbH serve as a technological basis for this integration.
About EJOT
The EJOT Gruppe is the leading German manufacturer in the field of joining techniques with over 2000 employees in Germany and abroad. The products of the EJOT Group find applications in the automotive, construction, telecommunication, and electrical engineering/electronic markets.
Process Integration in the Foreground
Decisive for the project with ContentServ GmbH was that up to then EJOT carried out its outside communication via the Web, catalogs, and its extranet, each with separate operating processes on their own specific platforms.
This division of communication into three different areas required a high degree of coordination between the individual channels; the product data were not kept centrally, but rather were scattered among the different departments and systems. For this reason, a linear and extremely time-consuming process was the rule in the creation of print catalogs. Additional language variations multiplied the publication time yet again. The editing of the Website was already very labor-intensive with only one foreign language. With the addition of more language variants, the editing of which would probably still have to be carried out in the offices abroad, the time and effort involved in coordination would increase again considerably. With the integrated software solutions CS CMS Suite and CS PMS Suite by ContentServ EJOT now wants to unite these isolated processes on a single platform that is accessible via the Internet.
Multilingual Automated Catalog Production
In future all product data will be stored and maintained centrally in the CS PMS Suite. From here, these data can then be used for the semi-automated catalog production. The PlugIn by ContentServ in Adobe InDesign plays a central role in this process. It makes it possible to pre-layout the extensive catalogs completely in the CS PMS Suite, so that the data only have to be exported afterwards for the final touches in InDesign.
Parallel to the automated transfer of texts and images the translation management of the ContentServ software supports the creation of foreign-language versions of the content and catalogs. An English catolog is planned here in the first stage of expansion. In further stages the catalog production is to be extended successively to include more than 20 languages.
Relaunch of the Website
The maintenance of the Website will also be conducted in the system suite by ContentServ. The editing of this new and likewise multilingual Website will then take place centrally in the CS CMS Suite. As the system is web-based, that is, it is accessible via a simple Internet explorer, the website editing of the international branch offices can be brought together in a central platform.
Extranet with High Functionality
The third area to be integrated in this platform is the EJOT Group’s extranet. This offers existing customers, in particular, and sales partners various functions in order to search for and configure products. The multi-dimensional user administration of the CS CMS-Suite serves to determine exactly who is to have access to which data. Thus CAD drawings of the joining elements and components are only accessible to a small number of registered users, whereas more general data is to be made accessible to the whole group of users.
