MGB improves usability, personalization and content management with MatchPoint
 | The MGB intranet is based on MatchPoint and features content personalization, contextual search and intuitive tools. |
Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund (MGB), a leading Swiss retailer, planned and designed an intranet relaunch in 2009 with a focus on usability, design and a new platform. MatchPoint partner Namics was chosen to specify and implement the complex requirements.
Following an intense phase of consulting and requirements analysis, diverse proofs of concept were done to verify the technical feasibility. The results were documented in an extensive technical documentation. This was the basis for the planning and implementation of the new intranet.
Today, MGB has a highly personalized multilingual intranet featuring complex news management, centralized document management and diverse functional extensions. By using the MatchPoint framework, SharePoint functionality could be amended and a big part of the requirements could be met by configuration instead of custom development. Last but not least, MatchPoint's intuitive search Web Parts with integrated find-on-type and refinement features were a considerable added-value to the overall usability of the solution.
