We designed and created the company intranet for the renowned record label, Deutsche Grammophon. The prize-winning Process Management System with publishing and editorial functions (silver at the first European Intranet Awards in 2001) covers each step of the production process - from the creation of a new product to the administration of artists and projects, distribution, production of advertising material and sales. The application makes it possible for each authorised employee of the Universal Music concern network to access - in real time - the server situated in Hamburg.

All the basic information - such as regarding the artists, their entire output, licencing and copyright data, the marketing team, deadline management and packaging - is administered by the system. All the data necessary to the planning, execution and checking process - for example, relating to packaging, press, promotion, photo-sessions and video production - can be organised.

The system automatically creates deadlines for the various production stages for each department. It takes into consideration weekends, holidays and additional manpower dynamics. All dates, deadlines and the respective status of a project can be displayed in configurable summaries. The system also has a calendar function which displays all the dates calculated both automatically or manually. Following authorisation, the data is automatically transferred to the production companies.

Our intranet Workflow Management System is a central tool in the planning, execution and supervision of a company's entire operations. It features a content syndication function which makes it possible for the contents to be targeted and published in different presences or applications by means of a filtration process.

The business-to-business web portal of Deutsche Grammophon serves the employees of the company's many national branches as both an information and ordering platform. Business customers, according to the level of access they enjoy, can use the portal to search through data from the intranet application. In addition, they can place orders for products and accompanying publicity materials.

The portal most important to Deutsche Grammophon customers is the company's consumer website. It provides information about products and tours as well as on the artists themselves. An internal search function ensures easy access.

In developing the system, the company's specific present-day requirements taken into consideration and great care was taken that future standards and advances in technology and functionality could be incorporated effectively.

We can also develop a workflow system perfectly suited to the particular requirements of your company. The various functions relating to the organisation, supervision and operation of the processes specific to your particular company will be custom-tailored to meet your individual needs.
