The real estate group Vilogia chose the Nuxeo Platform more than 2 years ago as a central component of their software infrastructure. Christophe Capon, CIO of Vilogia, will tell us why he chose Nuxeo and give examples of different software solutions they have built with the platform. Vilogia Christophe will discuss how they store every piece of customer correspondence (email, postal mail, and fax) in their Nuxeo application and how they've made the correspondence accessible through their CRM using the Nuxeo Content Automation API. Christophe will also talk about the company extranet, which is currently being rebuilt with Liferay and Nuxeo. Finally, he's going to show us how he addressed user expectations and the BYOD trend by developing a simple mobile app with the Vaadin programing language and the Content Automation API.
