The Client

Volkswagen Group is one of the earliest and most successful international partners of China’s automobile industry. The Group has grown together with China’s auto industry, overcoming many challenges and achieving significant growths, during the 30 years’ partnership with China.

Project Overview

Every year VGC is building new registration websites for each event opening to VW China employees. These websites have different platforms, styles, databases which were hosted by the vendors. It is difficult to manage, store, trace and analyze registration data, and also has the information security risks, because we are disclosing the internal data to the external vendors.

ERS is a new platform that built in VGC private clouds, it enables event manager to create and manage registration website for all kinds of internal events. It also provides data report, statistic and archive functions to analyze and review event details.
