Relaunch of reporting, design with MS Office.

Task

Allreal has realigned its financial communications. Its entire reporting, annual reports and the media produced on this basis are tailored across media to the user behaviours of the various groups of stakeholders. In a one-stop-shop capacity Linkgroup took charge of concept, design and production as well as for the deployment of SmartNotes. SmartNotes is a disclosure management system and publishing platform rolled into one. From the first data import through to the final version, users work in the familiar MS Office environment. Finally a layout robot produces a fully designed PDF from the Office templates. The software is also established at EFG, Geberit, Meyer Burger, Swatch, Swissquote, Swiss Re and more than 200 further customers.
