Gauss VIP Enterprise Underpins Enterprise portal (www.boschrexroth.com)
Comprising 30 country-specific websites and information in 20 languages
HAMBURG, May 19, 2003. Bosch Rexroth AG, one of the leading companies in the
field of drive and control technology, has selected content management software
from Gauss Interprise AG (Prime Standard: GSO, ISIN DE 0005074603) to underpin
its worldwide enterprise portal, www.boschrexroth.com. VIP Enterprise manages
the content for the 30 country-specific websites in 20 different languages that
have been incorpated in the portal. The company’s extranet and intranet are also
based on VIP Enterprise.
The worldwide enterprise portal project was launched almost two years ago when
Mannesmann Rexroth and Bosch Automationstechnik merged and became Bosch Rexroth
AG. The newly founded company – a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH –
wanted to provide a consistent online brand presence for its 400,000 customers
and 25,500 employees located in 80 countries worldwide. At www.boschrexroth.com,
customers can now more easily find information from a wide range of technology
fields about products (e.g data sheets, CAD drawings) and applications (e.g.
application examples, references), as well as information about Bosch Rexroth.
The after-sales sections of the portal also employ intuitive desgn elements that
make the site easy to use. Rexroth customers have fast access to hotline
contacts, manuals, replacement parts, or assembly instructions. This mega
Internet site is maintained by 350 trained editors worldwide.
Instead of using an out-of-the-box portal solution, Bosch Rexroth opted for an
open Java framework that integrates different modules. For the web content
management part, the company selected VIP Enterprise 8 by Gauss Interprise, a
completely Java-based solution that can also be easily integrated. The SUN One
LDAP directory service and some JSP applications (e.g. an event database) have
also been integrated in the system.
“VIP Enterprise is extremely well fitted for our open, platform-independent
architecture”, says Christoph Kainzbauer, responsible for e-commerce at Bosch
Rexroth. “And it fits in well with our worldwide company structure. In addition
to our global pages in German and English, we offer 30 country-specific websites
with information in 20 languages. This is a big challenge to the flexibility,
scalability, and administration of the content management system. VIP Enterprise
excellently meets these requirements.”
