Petrobras International Chooses FileNET Panagon Web Content Software for Corporate Intranet Application PR Newswire - August 02, 2000 12:22 Jump to first matched term SAO PAULO, Brazil, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Petrobras Internacional S.A.- Braspetro, a subsidiary of the Brazilian petroleum firm Petrobras responsible for the prospecting and production of oil and gas outside the country, has chosen FileNET Corporation's (Nasdaq: FILE) Panagon(TM) Web Services software for managing the content of its applications and the automation of its business through the Web. This system will benefit 170 employees at the company's headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and approximately 700 professionals in other sites that Braspetro operates in thirteen different countries. (Photo: newscom.com ) "All of Braspetro's internal communication is electronic, including communication between its branches," said Carlos Jabour, head of the Support Area and coordinator of the project within Braspetro. "Since we needed to speed the search of documents and facilitate management of our company's data, we studied several alternatives in the market and concluded that FileNET's Panagon was the best one to address these issues." The installation of the software, as well as the migration of existing electronic documents and maintenance were commissioned from Datafix, a FileNET representative in Rio de Janeiro, in partnership with FileNET ValueNET(R) partner OR Service in Sao Paulo. The first phase of the project was concluded in June 2000 with the installation of enterprise licenses at Braspetro's headquarters. The second phase calls for the installation of Panagon software at the firm's Bolivian operations. Braspetro also plans to install Panagon in the other countries where it operates. The Panagon Web Services software will allow Braspetro employees to access and update electronic documents and content, through its corporate Intranet. The entire information database of the company will be managed and organized by the software, which is designed to easily handle the process -- and content -- centric aspects of applications to support such a system on the Web.
