Ferranti and CultuurNet work together on the new UiT database

Cultuurnet Vlaanderen has awarded Ferranti the order for the ‘Vervolgtraject CultuurDatabank’ (Culture Database continued) project, the new ‘UiT database’.

The ambition of the UiT database is as simple as it is ambitious: To inform every single Flemish person about what's going on. For this purpose, Ferranti is working together with CultuurNet to design an extraordinary instrument for the distribution and collection of cultural and leisure information via numerous channels, including a web services application and a web site enabling more than 4,000 users to manually enter their events every day. The information from the UiT database will be distributed via more than 120 channels, including various media (GvA, HUMO, the Zone magazines...) and an extensive network of cities and municipalities (e.g. UiTinBrussel.be, UiTinMechelen.be...). A complete overview of publication channels is available from http://www.cultuurnet.be/uitdatabank/over-uitdatabank/publicatiekanalen.

This project provides Ferranti with an opportunity to expand their customer base in the Public Sector by delivering innovative solutions.
