InfoWeb Core: Content Management and Multi-Channel Publishing

InfoWeb Core is a mobile and web CMS platform designed for the needs of municipalities, tourism, industry, and SMEs. InfoWeb Core is built on a new approach to data management, which enables efficient use of APIs. The platform gathers the necessary data from different sources and handles the processing, enrichment, and automated publishing of that data however you want.

Infoweb is a modern, secure content management system that stands apart on usability. Multi-channel publishing and unlimited integrations are part of the platform's DNA: Infoweb gathers data from different sources, enriches it, and automates publishing to the services that need it. The platform is built on Microsoft's latest technologies and an open source application framework, giving you scalability, freedom of choice, and peace of mind.

The problem every content team knows

Content lives in too many places at once. A municipality, tourism destination, industrial company, or SME typically needs the same information published to a website, a mobile app, digital signage, an online store, and a handful of partner systems, and keeping all of that in sync by hand does not scale.

Infoweb fixes this by acting as a reliable data hub. It pulls information from multiple sources, enriches it, and automates publishing across communication and service channels including online stores, mobile apps, information displays, and other web services, so content is entered once and distributed everywhere it is needed.

  • Content toolkit

    Versatile, easy-to-use content production tools that streamline how content is managed and built, so editors are not fighting the system to get work done.

  • Accessibility by design

    The platform's data model and theming system make it possible to produce more accessible services, with each output optimised for the device and channel it is displayed on.

  • True multilingual support

    InfoWeb lets you operate in every market in the world, with genuine multilingual capability and language versions that are easy to maintain over time.

  • Media bank with CDN delivery

    InfoWeb's media library takes care of your files and distributes them quickly across channels through an optimised content delivery network.

  • Optimisable search

    Improve content findability with intelligent search that can extend across different content types, with a results page that can be tailored for the best outcome.

  • Version control

    Built-in versioning brings peace of mind, since you can roll back to an earlier content version if something goes wrong.

  • Scalability on Microsoft Azure

    InfoWeb is designed to scale alongside your business needs, supporting a wide range of Microsoft Azure services that scale with demand.

  • Role-based user management

    Fine-grained, role-based access control, integrated with identity sources such as Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Optimised performance

    Built on Microsoft's newer, optimised application framework for additional speed and security across every service running on the platform.

  • One platform, many services

    A single Infoweb environment can support dozens of different digital services, with the same content reused across an online store, websites, and mobile apps.

  • Security by framework:

    Built on Microsoft's ASP.NET framework, giving applications developed on InfoWeb top-tier security and protection against attacks.

  • Interface-first architecture

    API interfaces are a core part of digitalising services, and Infoweb's interface-first approach makes it a reliable data hub as services are digitalised.

Who it is built for

InfoWeb Core is built for municipalities and cities, tourism organisations, industrial companies, and SMEs that need one mobile and web platform to manage content across many channels, rather than a separate system for every service. Tietotalo works as the digital services partner for more than twenty municipalities and cities, and the platform it has built is one of the most widely used content management systems in the Finnish municipal sector.

If your organisation is managing the same content separately across a website, a mobile app, signage, and partner integrations, Infoweb Core is built for you.

Technology

Why it matters

InfoWeb is the result of more than twenty years of continuous development work with Finnish customers, and the 2021 platform refresh rebuilt its toolset specifically to meet today's standards for content production, data management, security, and scalability. Tietotalo's municipal service package, built on InfoWeb, bundles the design and implementation of a new web service, smart integration with the Suomi.fi Service Catalogue, and online appointment booking and remote service handling for municipal experts and services, so the platform delivers a complete, ready-to-use offering rather than just a content editor.
