Scenario:  The country officer in the UAE is running a similar program to one run in Egypt last year, but the regional officer doesn't know this, and rather than have to dig up the resources created for that program and use the corporate website to announce thier work or host thier blog, the program officers in UAE are creating a new separate sie that they have complete control of.  The problem is that there is little crossover from visitors from the corporate site to the regional site and the layout, look and feel of the site, are different than HQ's?  There's little the regional website has in common with corporate's website, and there's absolutely no content that is shared. 

Sound familiar?    

Xykon has been developing websites and software applications for NGOs for the past 5 years and we've become experts at solving this probem.
One of the most commonly faced difficulties of an international organization is maintaining open communication and collaboration between their regional offices which are dispersed across the globe.  Not only are there language and cultural barriers to contend with, but also very frequently the exact needs of each office are slightly different.  Sharing online content and training materials in various languages within a common website while maintaining a standard 'look and feel' poses a complex problem. 

Xykon solves this by providing our clients with multilingual content management systems that have:

•  Interactive World Maps (for site visitors to learn more about the work you do by region)
•  Filterable World Maps (for site visitors to learn about the work you do by region and by topic).
•  A Searchable Common Resource Database (for staff and site visitors to conduct research, lookup articles, or access multilingual media and assorted content)
•  Standardized regional pages with individually managed content.   (enables regional officers to control the content that appears for their geographical area only,  but not affect the layout, look and feel of the site, or other areas not associated with them.)
