The IPL solution is based on innovative technology from Toronto-based SiberLogic, a leader in XML/RDF/OWL content management. Their flagship product, SiberSafe™ CMS, combines robust, feature-rich content management with semantic knowledge modelling, which dramatically increases the efficiency of both the content development and content retrieval processes. The IPL/SiberLogic solution was selected for its unrivalled functionality and rich content taxonomy/ontology features, as well as representing excellent value for money.
"Becta is precisely the kind of forward-looking organisation that derives most benefit from our technology", states Ian Lee, VP, Sales & Marketing, SiberLogic, Inc. "The IPL/SiberLogic team are delivering an open, standard-based and sophisticated content solution that will adapt to meet future needs".
Edward Taaffe, IT Consultant said on behalf of Becta: "It's important that Becta seek out and employ the most innovative solutions to their electronic communications and knowledge management needs and have gone through a very stringent selection process to ensure they get a system which best supports these requirements."
As well as supply of the product, IPL and SiberLogic are providing an extensive package of implementation consultancy, installation support and user training. Shaun Davey, IPL's Sales and Marketing Director said "We are excited to have been selected to supply this important content management system. We are aiming not only to provide Becta with the tools to manage their content, but also to equip their staff with the capability to use those tools effectively."
The contract, which has been awarded under S-Cat terms, will commence in the first quarter of 2006.
