New CMS for global market leader WIKA: 100 editors, 35 locations, 20 languages, 1 system

Software provider Axinom migrates the websites of WIKA Alexander Wiegand GmbH & Co. KG, world market leader in pressure and temperature measurement, to their Enterprise content management system AxCMS.net.

With the entirely new web concept WIKA is now able to offer their visitors always up-to-date information – multilingual, consistent and in top quality. Besides the revision of the basic structure and the redesign of the front end, also the extensive product catalogue has been integrated into the new web presence. The new structure enables customers to easily find the desired information in more than 100 countries.

The relaunch started with the German and the English web presence. In the course of this year gradually all other international web sites are going to be migrated to the new system.

WIKA sets great value on internationality and multilingualism: 100 editors in different subsidiaries all over the world use the new system. Thanks to the intuitive WYSIWYG-surface of AxCMS.net the employees can easily and cost saving create and maintain content without having any HTML- or programming knowledge. This way no more loops over IT-departments or agencies are necessary any more.

“A very important attribute for the selection of an appropriate CMS was the continuous support of our complex business processes with decentralized generated and administrated contents - no matter if the contents are product information, data sheets, press releases, job advertisements, newsletters or any other contents”, says André Habel-Nunes, head of marketing services at WIKA. “With AxCMS.net we found the ideal tool to administrate our websites multilingual, efficient and flexible.”

The smooth integration of the Across Language Server ensures an optimal workflow for the translation of content. Therefore, external translation bureaus are integrated into the business process without any media disruptions. One click allows editors to directly transmit their document- and page contents for translation from AxCMS.net to the Across Language Server. After a successful translation the contents are automatically sent back and integrated in AxCMS.net through XML.
