Three months after the official announcement of their partnership (in December 2007), the Business & Decision e-business department and FatWire Software have recently signed a contract for a content management project for the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).

The Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) has selected the new V7 FatWire Software Content Server platform which is implemented and deployed by Business & Decision teams. At a first step, both companies focus on redesigning the institutional website of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Bnf).

The institution goal relies on providing a content management platform to develop all its Internet and intranet applications. The second stage of this project will include services integration of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), such as the new version of its digital library.

FatWire Software was selected for the V7 Content Server strengths and its technology, coupled with the expertise and knowledge of this type of market given by Business & Decision.

Alain Werdenschlag, e-business Director at Business & Decision, alleged: "Business & Decision wished to associate itself with FatWire Software as this particular platform is a market standard. Indeed, we have opted this Java oriented solution, rather than traditional PHP bids via our Pelican platform as its ability to manage large volumes and its setting approach offer significant competitive advantages."

"The web content management solutions development integrating the overall value chain, implementation and integration advices  dedicated to marketing and business teams takes part of Fatwire Software strategies ". Says Franck Verbeke, CEO of FatWire France.
