Akzo Nobel corporate site: one of largest Flex deployments on top of Microsoft Content Management Server 2002

Published by Waldo Smeets at 19:28 under Adobe Flex, Site Seeing

Akzo Nobel - a giant in the health, chemical and paint industry - launched their new corporate website last week. It’s a Flex enabled site running on  Microsoft Content Management Server 2002, BizTalk Server 2004 and webservices and one of the largest deployments of it’s kind.

This is the first release of a platform that will help Akzo Nobel to maintain over 220 sites used by business units, countries and brands to present themselves to business partners, financial analists and consumers.

Macromedia Alliance Partner and Flex Solution Provider  is responsible for the Flex implementation. You can read more about it in this Dutch InfoWorld article.

    This sounds like a marvelous acheivement for Macromedia and their partner and is great vindication to the flexibility of Flex (that was an intentional and well intended pun btw).

    I tried to find the evidence of presense of Macromedia Flash enabled content both at http://www.akzonobel.com and http://www.akzonobel.nl, but failed…

    Probably the most recent version of web-site is not yet online?

    Hi JabbyPanda,

    I just heard that the new site was only temporary online for a test. I guess it won’t be too long before you can see the final version (again).
