Case Study: Fives Group achieves faster, multilingual intranet updates and improved global communication with e‑Spirit's FirstSpirit CMS

Fives Group Employees Use e-Spirit Web Content Management Technology to Quickly and Easily Create Portal Content

Fives Group, a global supplier of process equipment with subsidiaries in around 30 countries, struggled to keep its SAP NetWeaver intranet portal up to date because content editing was technically complex and centralized in IT. To enable multilingual, local content creation and reduce IT workload, Fives selected e-Spirit and its FirstSpirit™ CMS as the content integration platform.

e-Spirit integrated FirstSpirit with SAP NetWeaver (with HLP Infosupport) in under a month, providing two easy editing environments, single-sign-on, and localized publishing so subsidiaries could maintain content without special training. The e-Spirit solution delivered faster, simpler updates, freed IT from routine content tasks, improved global communications across ~5,700 employees in 30 countries, and produced rapid ROI as the portal became the main source for group information and applications.
