3fifteen, the Microsoft applications solutions division in the Dimension Data group, has successfully completed the upgrade of the AngloGold Ashanti Web site.
AngloGold Ashanti, one of the world`s largest gold producers, is listed on the securities exchanges in Johannesburg, Accra, New York and Sydney as well as the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Paris and Euronext Brussels.
3fifteen utilised the Microsoft .Net solutions platform to develop the site because .Net provides a single infrastructure that facilitates the rapid creation, deployment and management of external and internal facing portals.
According to Karl Schoemaker at AngloGold Ashanti, the company needed a Web site that was friendly, quick to navigate as well as meeting the individual requirements of the user community, while still reflecting the AngloGold Ashanti character and values as a gold company.
"3fifteen has delivered on our expectations, and treated the project with an informal professionalism that was refreshing to experience. Because of the size and complexity of the AngloGold Ashanti organisation, we anticipated the process to get a Web site that really worked for us to be very challenging. We were therefore pleasantly surprised at how fast and painless the entire project was."
"The feedback from within the organisation as well as from our external partners, shareholders and investors has been extremely complimentary," he concludes.
3fifteen is a Microsoft solutions development company in which Dimension Data - through Protocol - has taken a 45% strategic investment. The company - headquartered at The Campus - represents the Microsoft solutions offering in the Dimension Data SA stable.
