SAS - Integrates with IBM WebSphere!

SAS AB is a parent company within the SAS Group. The largest listed flight and travel group in the Nordic region offers flight transports, flight related services and hotels. The group has about 32,400 employees, 1520 daily departures, 147 destinations and 217 hotels. The SAS Group has an annual turnover of 61 877 MSEK (2005).

Sogeti Sverige AB has delivered a unique solution at SAS, for the first time integrating the web content management platform EPiServer with IBM’s WebSphere Portal. Through the solution SAS now has a complete web environment within the intranet and a new group common publishing tool.

SAS had since the beginning of 2004 been using the IBM portal platform WebSphere Portal for their intranet solution. The portal was integrated with an SAS adjusted version of the web publishing tool Documentum Web Publisher and there were also other tool being used within the group. The functionality varied between tools and in addition some of the smaller tools were not completely integrated with the portal. The solution thereby included the operational and applications management of several systems, increasing management related costs.

Sogeti has helped SAS in the transition to a more modern systems platform for web publishing integrating EPiServer with the IBM WebSphere Portal and using the new technique standard Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP). The solution also included the implementation of the EPiServer module Image Vault (used for image management), an LDAP connection to the SAS Group’s MS Active Directory to handle the user management and log-in through a single sign-on solution within the portal. The assignment also included an extensive content migration from Document Web Publisher, training for web administrators and editors and the handover of the applications management to a SAS partner.
At the end of the project in July 2006 the solution handled about 220 information services and about 500 user groups. A redoubling is expected within a two-year period.
”We now have one single publishing tool and have lowered the costs for maintenance, support and education. Even if there are still smaller problems left to solve the users of the new solution are content”, said Britt Ocklind, responsible at the SAS Corporate IT division.

By implementing the new systems platform for web publishing, SAS now has a more homogeneous operational environment using the portal integration to a larger extent. More functionality has been added and a common ground for administrators and editors has been established.
”The combination IBM WebSphere Portal and EPiServer integrates the best of two worlds, an outstanding portal solution and a market leading publishing tool”, said Sogeti’s Jan Lindén.
