Context
Our customer was tasked with delivering conference management software for one of their clients. The client was looking to adopt a solution for their partners — professional associations and committees in various industries, including healthcare — to organize and manage their conferences and congresses on a regular basis. The solution was to streamline and optimize event management as well as to ensure stress-free event maintenance through a straightforward digital interface. The organization also expected the system to support ongoing event performance monitoring and analytics.
The digital agency had a positive experience of engaging Datawalls in enterprise software development for their clients in the past, so choosing us for this project was a no-brainer.

Solution
The project included custom development and implementation of a new intranet on top of the video conferencing for use by the managers, students and trainers.
The Video Conferencing Platform
Datawalls engineers customized and deployed the OpenCms platform to introduce the following:
- Core features, including content publishing workflows, integrated templates, a sitemap, and navigation management.
- Content areas, such as the distributor finder, testimonials, use cases, maintenance and service guidelines, installers, events, news, product descriptions, and more.
- The training and examination module, where users can take up the company’s online courses relevant to their position and pass internal tests in line with their content access rights.
- File sharing, to enable content distribution across teams and departments.
- User account and access management, which allows admins to create, manage and deactivate user accounts, assign user rights, set content access levels, etc.
