MAHLE CLEVITE

Problem
Clevite, an IAS client of 11 years, was acquired by MAHLE GmBH and needed to have the new MAHLE corporate design applied to its site while maintaining its customer mission.

Solution
IAS applied the new MAHLE corporate web design efficiently due to previously implemented site restructuring while preserving & integrating all of the previously developed web application functionality including: customer/sales extranet, full CRM, publications ordering & dealer locator. With IAS' easy to use web content engine, the MAHLE Clevite family of Web sites are able to share selected common dynamic content sections and incorporate a unique design "skin" for each without having to create an entirely separate Web site. This highly efficient process saves the MAHLE Clevite group time in deployment, development and ongoing site maintenance.

The IAS dynamic content management technology allows MAHLE Clevite to effectively reach its respective geographic and product markets which include MAHLE Clevite CA, (CA customer site) Engine Parts One & CARQUEST Gaskets CA , MAHLE Clevite US, MAHLE Clevite MX, CARQUEST Gaskets US and the motorsports enthusiast sites MotorHeadHeaven.com and Gearhead Gab.
