Challenge
As an institution that has always been responsive to the constantly changing needs of the society, Hermann Oberth Faculty of Engineering has to adapt to the current requirements so that it enables access to information and knowledge to anyone.
The client wanted to communicate using a networking environment, so that they can share resources on the Internet with partners all over the world. In this context the capacity to attain flow of information and the ability to extract knowledge from it becomes a mandatory task.
The characteristics the client wanted for the solution referred to:
- Efficiency – for fast insertion, search and recovery of data;
- Easy to use interface – even for the personnel less used to a document management solution, without the necessity of a time-consuming training.
