Immediacy makes Hot Property of TEYS Websites

 

Immediacy, part of the Mediasurface group, Europe’s leading content management solution provider, resuscitates Australian strata property management company, TEYS, intranet and internet site from web stagnancy with the Immediacy web content management suite (WCMs) 6.0.


14th February.  Immediacy, one of the leading UK content management solution providers (part of the Mediasurface group (UK, AIM: MSR)) announces the launch of newest Australian customer websites for Strata* Management company, TEYS. Implemented to enable swift, easy updating and maintenance of TEYS’ internal intranet and public facing website, Immediacy WCMs 6.0 content management suite has re-launched www.teys.com.au to provide up-to-date access to a multidisciplinary range of services for the owners of strata-titled* property. (*see notes)

 

A broken content management system had left TEYS unable to edit, update or remove any content from the public website or intranet. With offices in four states across Australia and clients throughout the country, the strata management specialist relied upon the public website to share information with prospects and customers alike and the intranet to maintain communications internally. TEYS chose Immediacy WCMs 6.0 to provide a speedy resolution to existing website stagnancy. Its easy to use contribution interface meant the system required a minimum of technical knowledge to populate and maintain but would ensure scalable and interactive internal and external websites. TEYS intranet and internet site went live with Immediacy WCMs 6.0 suite just 18 days from the first meeting. 

 

Selected following an internet search which returned Immediacy amongst the top results, TEYS were initially attracted to Immediacy WCMs 6.0 because its WYSIWYG editing tools meant the business could manage both intranet and public websites in-house, eliminating the cost and time involved with web developers and designers. With control of the content management now within the organization, changes on the websites are immediate, making them truly effective, interactive marketing communications tools. TEYS’ marketing team can now exploit the flexibility of the Immediacy WCMs 6.0 suite to capture marketing data from online forms. The marketing team will use the new WCMs to release formerly isolated content, drawing from their extensive internal image bank to post new imagery online to keep the sites fresh and up-to-date.

 

Susannah Kulincevic, Communications Manager, TEYS explains;

 

‘We needed to solve our stagnant website problem swiftly. Immediacy offered a solution that was based on a Microsoft Office look and feel with WYSIWYG editing tools that meant it would be quick to pick up and straight-forward to use. It certainly proved to be that as we had our first Immediacy 6.0 presentation on 3rd January 2008 and took our intranet live 21st January and our website live 25th January.’

 

TEYS enjoyed a rapid delivery of their websites due to the way in which Immediacy WCMs 6.0 suite operates. Running TEYS intranet and public websites from a single installed repository meant that content could be added to the system whilst overall templates were designed by the TEYS and Immediacy team. As a result of the shared repository, TEYS will save time on managing and publishing content as individual content items whether they are images, documents or the TEYS newsletter, need only be entered once then shared between the internet and intranet sites.

 

Chris Tew, Senior Vice-President Asia Pacific;

 

‘TEYS had no facilities to manage their website when we initially spoke to them. The perfect customer to work with, TEYS were 100% motivated to resolve their website issues and it is a result of their commitment that we were able to deploy the solution as rapidly as possible. The speed of this 18 day implementation proves that a good working relationship between a cooperative client and straight-talking CMS provider can really deliver a high-quality solution quickly.’

Notes: Strata Management

Begun in Australia in the 1960’s, strata living describes the concept of dividing apartment buildings into separate lots for individual ownership and sharing of common property. It now accounts for one third of Sydney’s dwellings, one quarter of Melbourne’s and almost one fifth of Brisbane’s.  In these cities and throughout the rest of Australia and the world, the strata apartment market is set for unprecedented growth.  This is due to a variety of factors affecting societies, including:

 

  • low housing affordability;
  • ageing of our population;
  • shrinking household formations;
  • environmental issues arising from urban sprawl; and
  • migration of those more used to living in apartments.
