Germany: Meyer Werft Shipyard Selects FirstSpirit CMS

June 20, 2012

Meyer Werft GmbH, specialist for building cruise ships, including the fleets of Aida Cruises, Disney Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises, is implementing the FirstSpirit content management system (CMS). The software from e-Spirit will be the technical basis for the new company website, which has been redesigned with a completely new design and goes live this year – to coincide with the launch of the Celebrity Reflection in September.

Ship lovers, cruise fans and media representatives from across the world will visit the Papenburg-based company’s new site and find information on the shipyard and its ships. Implementation of the web project is being handled by the e-Spirit partner firm comspace, located in Bielefeld/Germany. Meyer Werft expects to see considerable time savings thanks to the user friendliness, and thus significant simplification of work for the workers in the content editing area. Another key factor in the selection was the future security of the investment thanks to FirstSpirit’s clear product strategy and its integration capability with existing and planned infrastructures.

Following the Meyer Werft launch, plans call for the websites of the Rostock-based sister company Neptun Werft shipyard and other websites for the group of companies to be developed with the new CMS as well.
