• www.samas.nl

• www.samasoffice.fr

With the online Open Source Supportdesk Samas gets full service and support for Joomla internationally.

Open Source Network handled the complete migration of the Samas Netherlands and Samas France corporate intranets to the Joomla Content Management System.

The web design is completely geared to that of the websites, whereby a great deal of attention was devoted to a number of aspects, including the specific wishes and requirements in relation to the functionality and user-friendliness.

With the launch of the modernised intranet, Samas now has the following at its disposal: 

• face book and contact data for all employees
• extensive document-sharing functionality
• rights and roles management for authors, editors and webmasters
• secured access control

 

Samas offers its partners and dealers in the Netherlands and France access to a secured section of the website. These extranets gives them access to specific content that is relevant for this target group.

With the launch of these modernised extranets Samas now has a number of elements at its disposal, including:

• extensive document sharing functionality
• rights and roles management for authors, editors and webmasters
• news and information per target group

 

With 12 offices in Europe and 10 brands Samas has a broad-based presence in the office furniture market. To be able to present this wide range online in an unambiguous manner Open Source Network created the points of departure and templates for the webdesign, whereby all the brand-identities were left completely intact.

The webdesign has a highly 'less is more' approach, whereby especially the product and ambience images that are so important for office furniture are shown to optimum effect.

The Look & Feel is also outstanding for intranet and extranet environments, which means that all needs can be fulfilled within one overall concept.
