Challenges
After the acquisition of beer producers all over the world Carlsberg Breweries was facing some major challenges in order to consolidate the internal knowledge sharing and communication. In addition the existing intranet did no longer meet the business needs. A new common and more dynamic intranet platform was necessary to create a common identity, increasing user productivity and interaction.

The solution 

In cooperation with Carlsberg Group IT ProActive helped establish a centralized intranet for all companies in the Carlsberg Group. The global intranet consists of a central intranet portal and 16 regional intranet sites so that all companies in the Carlsberg Group have their own local intranet portal on a single platform. This is a state-of-the-art intranet solution with a so-called Top Light / Bottom Heavy content structure where all content is automatically tagged with metadata so that it always is searchable and automatically rolled up on pages where the content is relevant. 

• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as platform
• Top Light / Bottom Heavy content structure
• Enterprise Search makes sure that content is searchable and findabel everywhere in the portal
• Telerik Editor &ndash - extended web editor tool 
• Auto Tagging Meta Data Model makes sure that content is tagged with metadata which makes it easier to find relevant information
• Content Roll-up makes sure that relevant content is presented on the relevant pages
• RSS feeds
• Team Site- og Project Web applikations
