Management Summary
Adecco is the leading temporary-employment agency worldwide and establishes contact between 700,000 job seekers and several hundred thousand corporate clients every day. In order to offer the employees at Adecco in Germany a dynamic information platform, the company relaunched its intranet. The platform based on CONTENS supports the employees considerably during their daily tasks through the easy to use document database, as well as its high level of user friendliness.
Situation
The maintenance of the former intranet at Adecco Germany was a laborious and time-consuming business, as this could only be taken care of by the IT department. The process of locating relevant documents had especially become increasingly difficult. In order to meet the growing demands of the platform, a user friendly CMS was desired. Furthermore, there was a need for a customized document management solution including an advanced search function for the ideal structuring and archiving of content rose.
Solution
In order to relaunch the intranet successfully in a short period of time, the persons in charge at Adecco Germany decided in favor of a modular solution with centralized document management by CONTENS.
Via the user-friendly interface of CONTENS, content can be incorporated and updated quickly by the editors without prior programming knowledge. With this support, Adecco enabled the persons responsible in the individual departments to create and maintain their content consistently and autonomously.
It was also an important goal of the new intranet to present the formerly unstructured content which had been organized in public folders, in a standardized way. Here, the integration of centralized document management and the structuring of an extensive amount of documents were the key to success.
The entire management of the document database takes place in the easy to handle CONTENS interface within the browser: This way, editors can easily provide new documents and manage existing templates without needing the installation of an additional client. Via the integrated query form and a category based search, every employee is now able to find the desired documents quickly and effectively.
By allowing all employees central access to the same document database, the most current version of the documents is always guaranteed. The flood of documents has also been drastically reduced as redundancies occur less often, through one-time recording of documents in the central document database.
The use of applications such as the FAQ manager, the forum and the RSS generator have also helped to establish the intranet at Adecco as a fast and convenient information medium for all employees.
