Project Title: Internet and Intranet Portal Maintenance, Intranet portal roll-out and new features development for Onninen Group

The Challenge

Onninen Group is a large Finnish provider of comprehensive materials services. Also being one of the biggest suppliers of engineering equipment in ten countries around the globe, the company has local offices with strong independent management and IT policies. Today, there are approximately 3000 employees spread across all branches that accumulate a total annual money turnover of about 2 billion Euros.

One thing the company was dissatisfied with was that websites in different countries of operation were supported and developed by different organizations using various programs. As a result, a high level of independence in the local offices led to a large number of different unrelated solutions being implemented in order to complete similar tasks. Different IT landscapes provided no integration except for manual data exchange through mail and shared folders. There was no common workspace with unified interface or access to the company services for employees in different countries either.

The solution required for improvement was meant to unify business operations in different branches, as well as to transit and roll-out existing intranet portal to new branches in 7 countries in Nordic and Eastern Europe with new features development.

The Solution

Digital design was chosen to provide Application Maintenance Services for Internet and Intranet portals of Onninen head offices with parallel roll-out and further development of Intranet portal in branch offices. In order to make the management process easier and unify business operations in different branches the local system was integrated on the basis of a common Internet solution using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 standard functionality. Digital Design was also set to support the new websites and perform any necessary custom development in the future.

Onninen has made a decision to develop all of their websites on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 technology which was a step towards a unified, maintainable and scalable platform. Standardized user interface, the same management and business processes were now all in responsibility of one contractor. Common access to information for all employees with specific local limitations also assured a better business workflow.
