DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT, WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT (CMS) SOLUTIONS
Planet Systems provides products and services for building corporate websites. We support Content Management System (CMS)
such as Mambo or Drupal (open source), and commercial types. We already have the web developer and management team you
many organizations may be struggling to get together to launch into high-end website development. We register, author, design
and monitor accessibility of any size of website though we emphasize corporate and international organizations in the African
region. We have the necessary skills, content management tools and consulting know-how to meet the needs of organizations
that you may be in need of:
 Publicizing their organization.
 Doing business.
 Communicating with their customers or other interest visitors.
 Providing information to specific constituents.
 Other reasons such as vanity publishing.
We take a round trip development approach when it comes to designing websites. We call it the “disciplined approach” to going
on the web. It is not just establishing presence as the majority of the old websites were set for. It is not because everyone is
doing it either. We begin with the rationale – why do it at all? We help organizations understand and track their customers
(internal and external) then establish the purpose. We differ when it comes to planning and pitching for the level right for your
customers: technical and content considerations. We use a modern business analysis approach to ensure you keep your
strategies aligned. It is done in a simple way. For example we help organizations understand how and why they need the web.
This could involve knowing:
 Why your organization wants to the web?
 Identifying your audience.
 Identifying what you are trying to communicate to them.
 Budgeting for the service.
 Relating the web to your communication strategy – selling the service to the organization.
 Analysis of all the technical matters to take into account when maintaining web presence.
 The resources you need.
So what are the results? Planet Systems has been using and marketing content management systems for the African market since
it started its operations. We offer website design for Internet, Intranet, Extranet and ecommerce service. In all projects we aim at:
 Improving organization visibility and coverage.
 Improving organizational performance.
 Enhancing its mission effectiveness.
 Enhancing its operational readiness.
How do we define performance?
 Making effective decisions using every piece of relevant information and the web.
 Organizational performance improvement always stems from making information available to the people who need it,
when they need it, without fail.
 We work to ensure sites are kept up-to-date. We test already constructed websites with tools like SOAP to test and
monitor sites on behalf of our clients.

INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEMS
Planet Systems has forged a long term relationship with international suppliers of modern library systems and materials that are
relevant for the African environment. We represent Softlink Europe and Checkpoint Systems that supply software and hardware

benefiting from a system that is:
 Stable and reliable – widely used in about 10,000 libraries.
 Locally well support with library consultancy, software installation, commissioning, documentation, data conversion,
training, technical support and Bibliographic/Webliographic services.
 From a company with solid information science, IT, system engineering, account management, sales and marketing
capability.

regulations.

 Is a complete multimedia filing system – managing all resource types.
 Simple , intuitive management screens and search facilities for all people of all ages.
 Supplied ready for integration and has options for an setting up an Internet Suite allowing user access from any location
– good for intranet.
 Offered with handy training guides and help resources.
We have also taken care of the future in our library systems. The future is not just web content or annual upgrades to the base
system. It is in migration and integration. We therefore begin early to promise you a library system that allows for:
 Simplified integration with internet and intranet and links to web content as well as document and imaging system.
 Built-in options for cataloguing of all kinds of computer files –word processing, spreadsheet, htm and graphics .
 Easy add-on of bar-coding schemes that work in both DMS and the Library system .
 Incremental cataloguing of resources such that new components can be added easily e.g. a book in 3 modes – one text,
another audio and another video.
 Workflow and document development in DMS to be linked to the library system e.g. a Budget draft being discussed but
already available online.
 A combination of Library and DMS to sell information or manage subscriber services such as those for online
institutions.
With library systems, you may not find another firm with international strength yet such good local knowledge like Planet
Systems. We have the resources, experience and infrastructure to meet almost any library systems needs.
