As one of the world's leading interactive game development companies, Climax employs over three hundred people in six offices over five locations worldwide - Los Angeles, Solent, Brighton, Nottingham, and two London offices. Having recently expanded considerably, it was evident that both the internal and external communications channels required upgrading to reflect the company's strategy as a global developer. Syrox was approached to enhance communications and web presence with the implementation of an enterprise portal solution. It was envisaged that the solution would not only improve existing web content but also serve as a communication channel to the media, games publishers and internal staff. In order to consolidate information from all six regional offices and hundreds of game titles with news, press releases and company information, Syrox developed a flexible content management system where all aspects of the website's content could be updated by Climax staff with a minimum of training. Staff can author content using WYSIWYG editing tools which look and function like familiar word processing tools, but operate within the browser window for convenience.
The website also has facilities for the management of careers information, including the posting of jobs and handling of CV submissions, and allows email newsletters to be created easily and sent to registered users to act as virtual press packs, and to distribute marketing information and news. The website automates the handling of images, screenshots and video using an asset management system that allows files to be reused consistently and securely. The solution also features a related Intranet system, providing similar features to the website but oriented and customised for internal use by and for Climax staff. The two systems are linked, but separated by a firewall and a VPN for a completely secure solution. In addition to content publishing, the Intranet system features forums and other collaboration tools to facilitate communications and group working.

Management
of areas of the website can be delegated to individual teams without
compromising security in other areas. The portal design allows
for a highly extensible layout, site structure and navigation,
with the ability for new sections and pages to be added easily.
Workflow ensures that content is assigned, authored, checked, authorised
and published by the right members of staff, according to simple,
efficient procedural rules. All content in the system is associated
with keywords and content rated, to allow for highly relevant search
results and automatic aggregation of related content.|
