prepared for: 20/20 Companies | 8.22.2010FerrariSituationFerrari’s current communication system wasn’t under their control, and licensing fees were beginning to cause a problem. They sought a technology partner that could build a new system that would allow for more effective communication channels between Headquarters and individual dealers. Specifically, they wanted a platform where they could broadcast news, events, and communications as well as send out notifications and emails on a large scale.
Solution• Icreon and senior leaders of the IT team at Ferrari went through extensive
brainstorming and protoyping sessions to develop the requirements of the project. • In order to develop the new system, Icreon would have to migrate the existing system
to a customized Drupal backend. • With the system built as a custom extranet, individual dealers have controlled access
to post events, news, amongst many other bulletin related items.
