The Task
Franchisees, restaurant managers and employees access the McDonald's Intranet based CONTENS every day to get news about current products or promotions. An important goal in the implementation of the intranet was to make access to the thousands of content as easy and fast as possible. In addition to information on forthcoming actions, users are offered a large selection of additional documents as well as the data of contact persons.
The Solution
In 2010 the online experts from the Neue Digitale / Razorfish agency selected the CMS technology from CONTENS, which also convinced McDonald's. The decision makers at McDonald's liked the technical flexibility, the modular extensibility as well as the intuitive user interface of CONTENS.
McDonald's is using the Intranet platform to provide not only the company's service center employees, but also franchisees and restaurant managers in the local stores with day-to-day information and services. As diverse as the users of the portal, the demands on the content that the intranet should make available are as varied.
