Sitecore integration with interactive databases and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server provides global website solutions
San Francisco , March 02, 2008- Today at the Microsoft Office SharePoint Conference, Sitecore, a leading provider of .NET Web Content Management System (CMS) and portal software, announced that FMC Technologies has deployed Sitecore’s Web CMS to deliver an innovative online experience for worldwide customers. As the leading global provider of technology solutions for the energy industry and other industrial markets, FMC Technologies needed a way to centrally control website content for its global operations, which span multiple countries and languages.
FMC Technologies chose Sitecore because its Web CMS provides flexibility, multi-language support, and powerful integration with SharePoint Server and other interactive database solutions FMC Technologies currently uses. By utilizing Sitecore as the front end for enterprise applications, FMC Technologies has created a compelling web experience for its employees and customers, while maintaining consistent messaging globally for the company.
FMC Technologies built their website with Sitecore’s CMS platform from the ground up. It created rich features to fit FMC Technologies’ business needs, which require flexibility to handle content internally and externally from numerous interactive databases located around the world. FMC Technologies’ global intranet includes multiple internal databases, including SharePoint Server, while public facing website applications are predominately Sitecore. Sitecore’s ability to create automated web forms to collect information on the internet outside the firewall then deliver it as structured data to SharePoint Server within the firewall helps keep key FMC Technologies information current and accurate.
FMC Technologies operates in 19 countries and translates content onto five primary languages. Sitecore has strong language localization capabilities, and even allows inter-relating content across different and multiple languages. FMC Technologies is able to quickly translate selective content into the five primary languages. For other un-translated content, links in the native languages point to where this content is available in English, which provides a real-world solution implemented quickly and at a reasonable cost. Sitecore’s strength in content relationships and taxonomy allows for this and other flexibility, allowing FMC Technologies to provide a remarkable scope of global website innovation.
