MODCOMP Implements System to Streamline Content Management for Heidelberger Druckmaschinen

The successful transition from cumbersome, HTML-centric editing and cataloging to an easy-to-use iRacer®-based content management system means savings in time and resources

May 15, 2001, Ft. Lauderdale, FL - MODCOMP® (www.modcomp.com), a leader in eBusiness and mBusiness technology solutions, announced today that its German subsidiary, Modular Computer Systems GmbH, has completed the successful implementation of a cutting-edge Content Management System that brings vast improvements in efficiency to Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberger).

"Maintaining their legacy intranet database required specialized HTML resources, and a phenomenal amount of time. Heidelberger wanted a more flexible content management solution that would simplify data entry by allowing it to be done from a universally familiar WYSIWYG user interface. Additionally, they required a facility for content re-use, workflow management, and multi-lingual capabilities," said Walter Pastucha, general manager of MODCOMP, GmbH. "Most importantly, though, for the long term Heidelberger wanted stability combined with an upgradeable, cutting-edge system, and in the short-term, they also needed a solution that would accommodate legacy data and not put them out of business during the transition period."

MODCOMP devised a solution that leveraged software developed by its established partner, Herrlich & Ramuschkat: iRacer. The iRacer software enabled MODCOMP to build a solution that meets Heidelberger's immediate needs for a multi-featured and scalable content management system that offers ease of use and structured management, while remaining open to expansion and further development of the company's intranet. iRacer delivers the system stability Heidelberger required - an absolute requirement for any global company - as well as multilingual capabilities with flexibility of layout and content."

With iRacer, MODCOMP installed a system that's thoroughly configurable and easily edited by people without any HTML experience. This translates to more direct contribution to the database and fewer bottlenecks to navigate. With workflow management built in, multiple contributors can be easily managed via privilege stipulations and approval cycles.

"Information is an essential resource for business today," said Alexander R. Lupinetti, president and CEO of MODCOMP, Inc. "Companies want more efficient information management, but any process can loom ominous at the time of installation. At MODCOMP, we take pride in our record of efficient implementation of content management solutions with transitions that tolerate no loss of data or downtime."
