Department for Transport selects Webstructure.NET for new intranet

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded the contract to modernise its intranet to Abacus e-Media whose solution will be based on the new .NET version of its Webstructure content management system.

Abacus e-Media has been working with the DfT since 2002, and designed the original Webstructure-based intranet five years ago. A core aim for the DfT is to exploit and to modernise their intranet and use the latest technology to offer users interactive features such as blogging, forums, polls and events calendars.

The new Webstructure.NET system, due to go live in spring 2010, will be built using Abacus e-Media’s innovative user interface framework which supports flexible design and allows additional custom components to be quickly and easily ‘plugged’ into the intranet. This approach will enable DfT staff to make significant changes to the intranet whenever they wish, without having to seek assistance from Abacus.

Look out for the release of this innovative new version of Webstructure in Spring 2010
