Marketing Factory can look back on a long and varied history of projects, thanks to its long-standing partnership with its customer pfm medical. The website projects are essentially based on the properties of the TYPO3 core. We also design custom developments and concepts to meet the client's different requirements and needs.

Alongside the history of projects below, here are also some examples of the custom solutions we developed for pfm medical.

General framework

Creation and ongoing development of the TYPO3 installation, currently consisting of 6 websites.
Hosting and management of the installation on virtualised hardware.

Special features and focus

Content maintenance synergies with minimal workload: shared and separate content between the websites.
Ease of setting up new domains at short notice and the rapid expansion of features.

Projects

Seit Mai 2022 betreuen wir neben dem Hosting nun auch das Continuous Upgrading für pfm.
Damit sind aufwändige TYPO3-Upgrade-Projekte nicht mehr notwendig. Die TYPO3-Installation von pfm wird zukünftig immer auf dem aktuellsten Stand der Technik sein.
Die kontinuierlichen Aktualisierungen fokussieren sich dabei nicht nur auf die TYPO3-Version selbst, sondern auch auf alle darüber hinaus beteiligten Komponenten, wie z. B. Extensions, Bibliotheken und auch Frontend-Code.

The Patient Awareness project includes an independent website with its own look and feel. The theme of the website is an educational campaign on breast cancer screening and treatment. The campaign initially focuses on the geographical areas of Latin America and Asia.

Details

The current TYPO3 installation underwent a technical upgrade to version 10 in 2020. In this context, the project was used to simultaneously integrate the pfm medical product catalogue via a PIM interface.

Details

pfm medical expert gmbh is a new subsidiary of pfm medical ag and acts as a consultant for regulatory requirements in the market. The new website will serve as an information and contact point for the industry. As Marketing Factory already operates and maintains various company websites within a TYPO3 installation, an additional page tree was simply integrated into the existing TYPO3 environment.

Development and implementation of an internal prototype in the form of a product catalogue for the visualisation of product data in Viamedici EPIM. The project was also used to support the subsequent introduction of PIM and improve the client's internal product data.

The pfm medical Institute subsidiary of pfm medical ag, which was founded in 2009, focuses on the promotion of healthcare and training in medicine, nursing care and health economics. The website is primarily used to provide information on publications and to register and award theses and scholarships.
