Kurzbeschreibung

For over ten years, Siemens AG has accumulated experience in the field of knowledge networking through different solutions. The so-called TechnoWeb was introduced in a software development division with 6,000 employees at Siemens AG Austria in 1998. In June 2009, the Executive Board of Siemens AG decided that this platform will be based on a new technology, Liferay, and rolled out companywide, because of the intention to examine the potential of the service for the entire company. The new platform should support a heterogeneous group of more than 40,000 potential users to connect to each other and share information. The case study describes the accumulated experience in the implementation of the platform.
