The Task
The task for which additor was to be applied consisted in a professional and up-to-date internet presentation of the company, and an optimization of internal company processes via intranet.
To this end, a decentralized maintenance of individual areas and a differentiated establishment of project teams with various editing and reading rights were considered.

Internal workflow including release mechanism
Import of Excel tables with automatic design adaptation
Independent maintenance of the English version
Connection to server-based mainframe computer applications

Additional Requirements

Re-design of the internet, parallel to the implementation of the additor
Programming of specialized additor modules

Updated information
Reduced workload for the company’s IT department regarding internet administration and support
Systematic workflow / documentation of all procedures
Decentralization of page creation and maintenance
