Major new CMS launched 4 Dec
After months of hard work, the new Content Management System (CMS) for the Arup website has launched.
We have rebuilt the entire system from the ground up, making the most of recent advances in server technology and web standards. The new system gives Arup a strong foundation to move the site forward and has dramatically reduced the site's bandwidth requirements.
“I love the new system. You are a star!”
Cheryl Pulford, Senior Communications Officer, Arup

Arup Collateral launched 3 Jan
The Arup collateral store and branded products shop is now live on the Arup intranet and being used by Arup staff around the world. This interesting project mixes new web thinking (social tagging, web services) with tried and tested retrieval techniques (hierarchical classification, "see also" discovery) to good effect. An enjoyable and rewarding experience all round.
“[The applications] will save us significant time and money...The product is robust and adaptable - everything we asked for.”
Olivia Gadd, Head of Corporate Communications, Arup
