Press Release: Friday , 7th September 2009
The Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) identified the need to develop a new internet portal. SMC Enterprise, the web portal specialists, was subsequently appointed to design, develop and implement a solution.
“The CTICC had a clear vision on this project” explains Nizaam Karjieker, Business Development Manager for SMC, “and that was to build on the existing web strategy and philosophy and create a fresh looking portal for the impending 2010 World Cup. At the heart of the portal, is SMC’s content management solution which consists of various tools that enables CTICC to manage the information on the site themselves. Additional features around social networking were also implemented to appeal to the varied local and international client base of the CTICC.”
The website was launched in mid-April 2009 and has received favourable response from its visitors. “We are amazed at the response the new website has received” says Zeenat Parker, Corporate Communications Manager for the CTICC, “During our launch month, the website received 1 million hits,” Parker adds.
The CTICC also identified the need for an Intranet to more effectively collaborate and communicate internally while refining its information management policies. SMC turned to Microsoft’s Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) as the Intranet platform.WSS 3.0 is a collaboration and communication tool that enables users to save and store documents, share information of any kind and communicate more effectively using a normal web browser.
