The City of Norrköping website to be developed on Roxen Platform
4 July 2001, 2 pm GMT
Norrköping (Norrköpings Kommun) with a population of 122 000, is a Swedish city located on the Baltic coast approximately 100 miles south of Stockholm.
One purpose of the remake of the site is to increase the quality and actuality of the content, by allowing more persons to update content without the need for programming skills.
"We want information owners to update their respective content directly on the Web, just as they do on paper today.
Roxen Platform was chosen on technical merits as well as because of its ability to
support our organization with distributed responsibilities.
We particularly like the structured management of Roxen Platform, the search functions and the statistics module," said Jan Hanaeus, Information Director for the City of Norrköping.
Other features that attracted Norrköping are the strong support for graphics and the simple administration of user profiles and privileges.
"Norrköping implementation request is a break through for our efforts to serve the Public Sector with Content Management.
Swedish authorities and cities are moving fast in the direction of 24x7 service, and we aim to be a major player in their Web Content Management efforts" said Lars Högberg, CEO Roxen Internet Software.
Norrkoping.se will be controlled by an editorial team without programmers.
The City's IT department has been helpful in the procurement, but the system is owned by the Information Office, headed by Information Director Jan Hanaeus.
The next version of norrkoping.se will focus on external Web site visitors, such as citizens, tourists and businesses contemplating a
location in Norrköping.
It will part of the service the city offers its inhabitants. Future versions will also address the need for an efficient internal flow of information, in the form of an intranet.
