At the end of 2005, Stuttgart-based Robert Bosch GmbH announced its intention to roll out the FIRSTspirit CMS platform across the globe.
After conducting a six-month evaluation phase, which incorporates a proof of concept and two pilot projects in the intranet and extranet areas, Robert Bosch GmbH will start a Europe-wide rollout in mid-2006. The firm chose FIRSTspirit technology particularly for its user-friendly WYSIWYG Web editor and rich client and its integration with their existing portal framework. This integration is facilitated by a business package forged by e-Spirit and its partner HLP.
Following a successful European rollout, the company plans to implement its third project level - global rollout - at the start of 2007.
The business partnership with Robert Bosch GmbH represents a milestone in the corporate history of the CMS manufacturer e-Spirit GmbH and its cooperation partner HLP Informationsmanagement GmbH.
The e-Spirit company was founded in 1999 in Dortmund and currently employs more than 35 personnel. Other offices are located in Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt.
