e-Spirit: Rohde & Schwarz Electronics Group Relaunching Its International Websites with FirstSpirit CMS

Dortmund, Germany, May 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- In an effort to streamline processes in managing its 38 country websites, Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG has opted to implement the CMS solution from e-Spirit, FirstSpirit. With its user-friendly functions, the content management system simplifies publication of multilingual content and optimizes the efficiency of editing processes in the company.

By relaunching its entire website using the new technology as a basis, Rohde & Schwarz is equipping itself to meet its current and future requirements in the area of international online communication. In taking this step, the electronics manufacturer continues the expansion of its international presence, which has picked up more and more speed in recent years, in the web area, too. The company has some 7,400 employees in over 70 countries with global revenues of 1.3 billion euros (fiscal year from July 2009 to June 2010). Exports make up over 90 percent of this figure.

"To help us with decentralized editing of our websites, we were looking for a future-secure content management system that our employees in the various offices could use on-site to directly manage the individual country sites and to customize them to meet their various local requirements," said Christian Hess, Head of Web Concepts and Content Management at Rohde & Schwarz. "With the FirstSpirit CMS we've found a solution that allows for simple localization of content while ensuring automatic compliance with corporate design guidelines. Localization workflows, comprehensive multilingual capability, translation tools, and the user-friendly editing environments will all help us to significantly reduce the workloads that come with managing 38 different websites in the different languages."
