Enterprise Content Management System provides information to end customers and sales partners
reality bytes, a Cologne-based full service Internet agency, has created the new Internet presence of Jamestown US-Immobilien GmbH. In addition to implementing the ECMS, reality bytes was responsible for the consulting involved in optimizing the screen design, as well as training Jamestown’s personnel.
Jamestown’s newly structured web-presence includes two websites that serve different target groups; the information on the funds is stored in a MySQL database.
The www.jamestown-usimmobilien.com web site is designed for end customers and also includes a closed area. This is where customers receive the shareholder’s letters for the funds, in which they have purchased shares. Moreover, fungibility of shares is facilitated through a second market on the web presence.
On the other hand, the www.vertrieb.jamestown-usimmobilien.com address is a contact point for sales partners (financial agencies and independent financial consultants). The sales information system offers faster communication with reseller target groups, and thus better distribution of product know-how. For example, this is where all the information on the tax aspects of the closed-end real estate funds is stored. Sales partners can also get a quick view of the sales status of the funds.
The German-American Jamestown Group, with offices in Cologne Germany and Atlanta USA, is Germany’s leading initiator for closed-end US real estate funds, and carries a portfolio of realized investment volume, which is valued at five billion US dollars. Currently 50,000 investors participate in the Jamestown funds.
