Unite against paper

Unite, a student accommodation provider in the UK, is setting up new IT systems to streamline a previously paper-based, time-consuming process for handling rental-related business, reports Public Technology.

Interwoven will power the company`s growing online accommodation management system, which will enable customers to complete paperwork via a self-service application on the company`s Web site; empower business users to more quickly and easily launch new marketing initiatives; and automate previously manual Web content update processes.

Unite selected Interwoven ECM solutions for Web content management, extranet management, and digital asset management. The company purchased Interwoven`s content distribution software and will implement the technology with the assistance of Interwoven partner Perot Systems, a technology-based solutions provider with offices around the world.

Leonardo has developed a digital asset management platform for SynXis worldwide, reports Hospitality Net.

Leonardo`s ASP digital asset management electronic solutions are designed to simplify the management and optimisation of interactive rich media content, the automation of image distribution to travel channels, as well as the creation and delivery of e-marketing promotions and e-brochures across large travel organisations.
