The UNESCO Internet website is the main tool used to disseminate information about the Organization and its programme of activities. A respected source of information, the UNESCO website is ranked among the top five of UN family websites and receives on average 1.8 million unique visitors (7 million page views) per month. The Secretariat is located in its Paris headquarters and in 52 field offices around the world, and demands the high availability of the website, a mission critical working tool for the Secretariat and its communities. In this Talk Chakir Piro (UNESCO) and Olivier Dobberkau (dkd) will give a short overview of the history of the usage of TYPO3 at www.unesco.org and how we are migrating more content from an old cms to TYPO3. We will introduce the setup involved to deploy a multinational and multilingual website with TYPO3. Further on we will describe the requirements of such a project dealing with a large amount of stakeholders, communication channels and international events. Chakir Piro will describe the role the department he works in to filter and aggregate the needs of the different sectors, field and cluster offices of UNESCO. We will give practical insights on how organizations can adopt a fast track to deliver daily content to its website visitors.

32. TYPO3& UNESCO

34. How TYPO3 and Unesco met
In 2004 UNESCO searched for a Solution for
Non-Latin Languages
Chakir Piro implemented a Lotus Notes
based Website in the field for the arabic
region
Limitations lead to think about alternatives
CMS comparison list was created
TYPO3 fulfilled most of the needed
requirements

36. How TYPO3 and Unesco met
TYPO3 provided a CMS Platform for non-
latin languages
Latin languages on the other CMS
After its practical proof it was clear that
managing content in two systems was not
the best approach
Pilot project were started to have all
languages in TYPO3
This was a one man Show :-)

38. How TYPO3 and Unesco met
As projects grew the need for a dedicated
TYPO3 infrastructure was recognized
dkd installed the current server platform to
withstand the projected needs
The existant portal design was adapted to
fit new requirements
TYPO3 CMS platform was included in the
load-balanced environment
