Renowned Dance Company Steps Up To Osiris
09/06/2004NEW HAVEN - Pilobolus may live and work in a small town in Connecticut's rural northwest, but it has performed for stage and television audiences all over the world. This award-winning dance troupe is a veteran of two seasons on Broadway and has played to full houses from London's Sadler's Wells and Rome's Teatro Olimpico to Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens and Paris' Theatre de la Ville. When it came to updating the company's presence on the World Wide Web, Pilobolus selected Enterity's Osiris Web Content Management Suite as its development platform.
Osiris enables Pilobolus' non-technical personnel to make updates and changes to their web site content, whether they're in Connecticut, Rome or Copenhagen. All they need is a web browser and access to the Internet. Because the Osiris administrative interface has been developed specifically with non-technical users in mind, Pilobolus is looking forward to ongoing maintenance that is less costly and far more flexible than their former static web solution.
While Enterity has provided web solutions for a broad variety of clients, Jonathan Biebesheimer, CEO, is particularly enthusiastic about the fit ofOsiris with the Pilobolus' needs: "Pilobolus is comprised of two touring companies, each with their own performance calendar, with over a hundred performances throughout the year at venues around the world. To manage this level of complex information, Pilobolus needed more than your average web content management system. The robust and stable enterprise-level features of Osiris were a natural for Pilobolus' requirements."
In addition to effective information management, it was crucial that the solution be extremely flexible in terms of its visual presentation and in its capacity to incorporate rich media elements in the future. "One of Osiris' key features is an extremely agile content templating system, which imposes very few limitations on a site's design and user interface," explains Biebesheimer. "This was an extremely appealing quality to Pilobolus, providing them with a platform on which they can develop a highly visual and interactive environment for site visitors in the years to come."
