Teamware to build a third generation Web site for the Swedish Engineers (17.1.2001)

The Swedish Association of Engineers (Ingenjörsförbundet) has chosen Teamware to build their new Web site on the Teamware Pl@za platform. The renewed site will act as virtual meeting place for the Association's members including discussion forums, wide contact network and information adapted according to the needs of the users.

"We wanted to create something new and exciting for our current and potential members. With Teamware Pl@za it is possible for all those interested in our activities to meet over the Web and communicate with each other", said Chief Executive Bengt G Nilsson from Ingenjörsförbundet.

The project will be carried out in three phases. The first phase includes the building of the Association's intranet and the second phase covers the implementing of the extranet for the local representatives. The revamped Internet site with member functions and public information will be launched before summer. The site, www.ing.se, will include most of the information that 11.000 members and others interested need and are looking for.

"We chose Teamware out of several options, because Pl@za fulfilled our demands for functionalities and Teamware was able to offer us the total solution from the technical platform to the design and content as well as marketing know-how", Nilsson stated.

"This is the first Pl@za win for the new Solution Center in Stockholm and it proves that we are on the right track to success", said Erik Andersson, Director of the Teamware Solution Center in Sweden.
