With the Internet becoming a primary source of information, companies and government agencies need to ensure that content is accessible and accurate.
"Industry analysts predicted that demand for content management systems would expand in 2004 and that is certainly reflected in FatWire's results," said Claude Cosson, FatWire's Vice President for Europe. "The improved economy is one factor," Cosson continued, "but more important is that new and existing customers have embraced Content Server's ability to support business processes and revenue streams in addition to managing Web site content."
FatWire says it has signed over fifty license deals in Europe since completing the acquisition of the Content Server business in late 2003. Customers such as ImmoScout24 (Germany's leading real estate marketplace), Cesky Mobile, Generali Spain, the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, and the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) have chosen FatWire Content Server to enable diverse Web sites, portals, and content-centric applications
Colin Howes, IT Director at SEEDA commented, "As a government organization, SEEDA is accountable to provide information to the public. FatWire will enable us to deliver high quality interactive information that is easily and quickly updated."
