FIFA, the world governing body for the sport of football, has chosen Making Waves as the new service provider for their intranet, extranet and collaboration platform, to ensure a stable and user-friendly platform for more than 22 000 users for the years to come.

Several new features have been identified as vital in keeping the solution in tune with the needs of FIFA’s departments. Intuitive content management based on EPiServer CMS, collaboration and document management with SharePoint 2010, single sign-on and system integration, globalization to support multiple languages and mobile/smart device optimization are some of the areas that will be addressed.
