Audi Academy gets connected with Intrexx Enterprise Portal

London, 29 October 2009 - United Planet (www.unitedplanet.com), one of
the leading developers of Enterprise Portal software in Europe, is
pleased to announce that Audi Academy, one of the leading training and
consulting institutes in Germany, has invested in an Intrexx Enterprise
Portal to provide employees, managers and trainers with the information
they need to run and attend the huge number of courses offered by the
Academy. 

As a subsidiary of AUDI AG, the Audi Academy plays a central role in
competency development for the organisation. It has been successfully
delivering company-specific training courses and consulting services in
the areas of HR & Management, Information & Technology, CAD/PLM, trade
and foreign languages to AUDI AG since 1993 but also provides a range of
training courses and services to other companies in the automotive
industry. 

In order to provide up-to-date information about each of the courses in
a clear and structured way, the Audi Academy took the decision to create
an Intranet using Intrexx that would not only centralise information but
could be easily accessed by students and trainers alike. The web-based
portal software has enabled the Academy to improve communications with
its team of professionals across its network of training sites in
Germany. It has also ensured that students are able to gather all the
information they need about a course, and the Academy site that they
wished to attend, thanks to remote access.

The large number of ready-made application templates available for
Intrexx allowed the Academy to establish a comprehensive information
portal in a short amount of time. The ability to assign read and write
authorisation in accordance with the employee's job function within the
Academy has meant that portal content can be maintained and up-dated
with ease. The ability to arrange password-protected external access via
the Internet has provided Academy trainers and freelancers with access
to all the information they need to organise courses and prepare for
meetings, independent of course location. Workflow associated with
everyday business processes, such as booking rooms, vehicles or ordering
lunch, has also been simplified. 

Axel Wessendorf, managing director of United Planet, commented: "The
ability to share business critical information via a web-based portal is
particularly important for an organisation such as the Audi Academy
where students, managers and trainers are located in a variety of
geographically dispersed sites. It is also crucial that the amount of
time and paperwork associated with organising a large number of courses
is kept to the absolute minimum so that everyone involved can focus on
what is really important - the development of skills that add real value
to the business."
