| Source: NewsGator
DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 5, 2007 -- NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS
company, today announced that Rohm and Haas, the global pioneer in the
creation and development of innovative technologies and solutions for the
specialty materials industry, is using NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES)
to improve internal communications processes by distributing important
internal and external content to employees across the company.
Faced with an increasing number of diverse information channels and
content, including portals, Factiva news feeds, and multiple internal
newsletters, Rohm and Haas turned to NewsGator to centralize and improve
the way employees access and read content. Replacing a home-grown RSS
system, NewsGator Enterprise Server, the award-winning
(http://www.newsgator.com/enterprise-infoworld.aspx) and market-leading
Enterprise RSS solution, will enable Rohm and Haas to pull in competitive
intelligence, company news and internal RSS feeds from multiple sources and
deliver them directly to employees via the Web, mobile devices and their
desktops.
With NewsGator Enterprise Server's collaboration and intelligent search
features such as clippings and smart feeds, employees from marketing,
corporate communications and knowledge management can quickly sift through
large quantities of content and deliver the most relevant pieces directly
to stakeholders. NewsGator Enterprise Server also integrates with Active
Directory, enabling administrators to determine that the right information
gets to the right people.
"Before NewsGator, we were really facing information overload, with no
centralized location for us to share that information," said Cindy Callan,
IT process analyst at Rohm and Haas. "NewsGator has given us a strategic,
easy-to-use delivery system that ensures our employees will actually read
the information we provide for them, making them far more productive and
informed."
"Many Fortune 1,000 companies are struggling to manage the deluge of
content that is found throughout their enterprise environment," said Dave
Keller, enterprise general manager at NewsGator Technologies. "NewsGator
Enterprise Server helps companies centralize relevant content, deliver it
to the appropriate employees and enable them to collaborate and discuss the
information."
