TELECOMWORLDWIRE-2 July 2001-Ford selects Plumtree to transform commercial intranet into corporate portal (C)1994-2001 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com Ford Motor Co has chosen Plumtree Software's technology to power its new my.ford.com corporate portal. Ford has already completed the deployment of the portal for its nearly 200,000 employees, located across almost 1,000 facilities and manufacturing plants worldwide. The portal is designed to enable Ford's employees - from the office to the assembly line - to share a single desktop for content and services, such as human resources, collaboration and learning, from the 1,500 sites that comprise the company's intranet. Ford estimates that the new portal could save the company up to USD7m annually by reducing the time employees spend searching for information by four minutes per week on average.
