Fjellbekk.com
Opens an Interactive Lifestyle Portal Based on Teamware Pl@za (29.8.2000)
Using
Teamware Pl@za´s portal solution, Swedish Fjellbekk.com has developed
a virtual meeting place for people who are interested in hunting
and fishing. Pl@za, a web application platform, allows users to
communicate more efficiently with the help of the latest solutions
in interactive technology.
When Fjellbekk.com
decided to create a web community for hunting and fishing enthusiasts,
they chose Teamware Pl@za, which filled their requirements for a
virtual meeting place. The next step will be to build a site with
e-commerce functionality. Fjellbekk.com will initially be accessible
in Scandinavia, but will later expand into Europe and North America.
The site can be found at www.fjellbekk.com.
"We wanted
to create a meeting place that would allow like-minded people to
communicate over borders. Pl@za turned out to be the best solution.
With the help of Teamware Pl@za, we intend to become the world’s
largest vertical portal focusing on hunting and fishing. Fjellbekk.com
can be revolutionary in both these areas by making it possible for
community functions to be integrated with sales of products for
hunting and fishing, physically as well as digitally," says
Daniel Ingdahl, Managing Director at Fjellbekk.
Pl@za, which
runs on Java, offers a new and functional web-platform for organizations
or companies whose members and employees are spread out over a wide
geographical area. With the help of Pl@za, users can generate their
own discussion groups and shared document folders as well as make
new contacts.
"There
is a growing interest in the lifestyle portals for specific segments.
We have already developed a portal for the 55+ target group, and
now we can offer a solution for people interested in hunting and
fishing. Nowadays companies and organizations need to create new
meeting places for their employees and members. Fjellbekk is a good
example of how the third generation of interactive web services
can be built with the help of Pl@za," says Erik Andersson,
Country Manager, Teamware Group AB.
Fjellbekk
Fjellbekk.com
is the world’s first vertical portal for hunting and fishing interests.
Fjellbekk develops web sites in order to integrate the sales of
hunting and fishing products with a community devoted to hunters
and anglers at every level. In the future, Fjellbekk plans to integrate
its electronic channel with physical Fjellbekk shops. The company’s
business concept is to provide hunters and anglers with a shop for
hunting and fishing gear, insurance programs, community activities
and travel. Fjellbekk has its offices in Stockholm with a staff
of ten people.
