VYRE is pleased to announce that The Icelandair Group,
the dynamic Icelandic airline group, has chosen VYRE Unify to manage their extensive and
diverse websites.
Icelandair’s websites are business critical services, delivering over 50% of booking revenue
through online sales in multiple languages. To ensure the successful choice of a new ECM
partner, Icelandair, with the assistance of TM Software, undertook a rigorous procurement
process, which included the creation of the live site http://www.footballandfun.is.
The creation of this site enabled the testing of Icelandair’s key requirements which
included:
- Fast deployment of sites and content
- The ability to use JSR-168 standard portlets
- Fully customisable content repositories
- Multiserver setup up with no single point of failure
- Total flexibility of design without restrictions on HTML
“We were extremely impressed in the way in which VYRE Unify met – and exceeded – all
our requirements and expectations. After thorough testing, we are confident that VYRE is
the right investment and the right platform to support the portfolio of Icelandair websites”,
says Hjortur Thorgilsson, The Icelandair Group's CIO.
The full rollout of VYRE Unify over 10 Icelandair sites is now underway. Already two new
sites are running on the VYRE platform and Icelandair’s core sites will be launched during
the first quarter of 2006.
Andy Peters, CEO, VYRE comments, “We are extremely pleased that VYRE Unify has come
through Icelandair and TM Software’s testing with flying colours, and that our software as
been adjudged to be robust, flexible and reliable enough to meet the high standards
demanded. We look forward to working with The Icelandair Group and TM Software over
the coming months to ensure the successful deployment of the all the websites”.
