CoBoNet is the multimedia service provider for the construction sector.

Through its InfoPoint, CoBoNet wanted to create a central point of technical information for the construction sector. The targeted public are specialists needing high level technical information on construction materials.

  • become a central repository of important information needed by construction sector members;
  • increase members loyalty by providing a professional set of information services (search engine, mailing, etc.);
  • ensure the tool recognition by important belgian construction actors by holding press conferences and other media coverage.
  • ensure the storage of information of various nature (data, texts, media, etc.);
  • set-up a powerfull indexation mechanism for various document formats;
  • provide a performant multimedia documents search engine;
  • develop cross-media information dissemination mechanisms;
  • ease of portal site maintenance;
  • ensure the technical performance part during press conferences.

Dixite performed a number of interviews and analysed the BENOR/ATG documentation repository in order to identify the user and technical requirements and describe them in a URD. After the requirements were set, we propose to develop a web portal solution and realise a proof-of-concept in order to ensure that an Oracle*Intermedia based solution would match the indexation/retrieval requirements.

After the proof-of-concept was validated by CoBoNet team, the full-scale solution was developed, tested and deployed on CoBoNet technical infrastructure.
