Hanseatic Group

The Requirement

Amatica has managed and hosted the website for the Hanseatic Group (Hansa), the Guernsey based investment management group, since 2008. In early 2010, following a review of the Group's operating structure, three new investment vehicles were launched, each focusing on a specific area of wealth management - fund management, trust activities and asset management.

Amatica was commissioned to design and build three websites, in line with the Group's new brand identity and structure. However, this created a challenge in the maintaining the new sites.

The Solution

Amatica's Proximity content management software underpins each of the Hansa Group websites:

• www.hansagrp.com
• www.hansatrust.com
• www.hansafund.com

This enables Hansa's team to publish and edit website content for all three sites from one single interface, quickly and reliably, while user rights and privileges ensure that only authorised staff are able to add or update content.

The facility through which Hansa's clients download fund reports and personalised portfolio valuations was also enhanced, as were the facilities to receive and upload reports automatically to the website, thereby increasing efficiency and saving administration.

The Outcome

Proximity 3.8 provides content management and control to publish to all three Hansa Group websites:

• Provides a secure, stable and extendable website environment;
• Reduced administrative effort through automated document management for client portfolio reporting;
• Enables Hansa to manage its own online content in the future through secure content management facilities;
• Amatica's Business Class hosting provides resilience from server hardware failure.
