Scalable Web Content Management Solution Delivers Engaging, Multilingual Content
to Drive Brand
MINEOLA, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
FatWire Software today announced that Rail Europe, the largest distributor of
European rail products in North America, launched its new website
(www.raileurope.com) using the FatWire Content Server web content management
(WCM) solution. As a core component of FatWire`s industry-leading Web Experience
Management (WEM) portfolio, Content Server will help increase sales by
delivering compelling, multilingual content to Rail Europe site visitors. 

Each year more than one million American travelers purchase European rail
products through Rail Europe Inc. or one of their more than 400 travel partners.
The company needed a solution that enabled them to add dynamic delivery
capabilities and richer online content in order to attract and convert English-,
French- and Spanish-speaking website visitors to customers. They also needed to
change web content on the fly during peak travel times, so they sought a
solution that scaled to meet the demands of users and provided an opportunity to
increase brand identity. 

Rail Europe Inc. launched its new website with FatWire Content Server to gain a
competitive advantage and achieve these goals. The FatWire portfolio automates
the entire WEM process, including content authoring, site design, content
publishing and delivery, targeted marketing, site analytics and user
participation. Using FatWire Content Server`s simple user interface, Rail Europe
can now establish and manage targeted online campaigns and keep their web
content relevant and current, while maintaining brand integrity. 

"Over 60% of our customers interact with us through the web, so we needed a web
content management solution that gave us the ability to constantly refresh
information to encourage repeat online visits and referrals," states Irfan
Sabir, Rail Europe Inc.`s CIO. "FatWire Content Server`s powerful capabilities
help us do this by delivering content in the right language and enabling our
staff to adjust web content as seasonal demands and market conditions change." 

"Travelers are discerning customers who rely on compelling sites like
RailEurope.com to search out the best deals," said Ken Delaney, FatWire
Software`s senior vice president of sales for North America. "FatWire`s
solutions help customers to increase organizational efficiencies by enabling
them to update sites quickly with the best and latest offers, thereby delivering
a compelling web experience for the end user which encourages visitors to come
back again and again."
