British Airways selects Resco as its content provider in northern Europe

British Airways selects Resco as its content provider in northern Europe One geographic region - one content provider. That was the reasoning behind British Airways' selection of a Web partner in northern Europe. Resco has been awarded the commission, thus expanding an already close alliance. Resco's previous commissions from British Airways include refinement and renewal of the company's public website and building of its "Speedbird" extranet for travel agents in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The alliance is now being expanded as British Airways consolidates its Web commissions in northern Europe to Resco. Resco as a whole will be working with Web production for British Airways in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "Co-ordination is a must for the development of the websites and extranets. We are working towards eight countries, and it will be smoother and more cost-effective to work with a single contact at one agency. We have been co-operating closely with Resco for some time and have been very satisfied, which made Resco the logical choice now that we are consolidating our production. One of the advantages we see is that Resco is also active in the German-speaking market," says Yanik Hoyles, British Airways Commercial Manager Nordic and the Netherlands. "It is gratifying that our co-operation with British Airways has been expanded to become a comprehensive and long-term alliance. Our clients are working in a Europe where borders are fast disappearing and our international expansion gives us greater opportunity to be at their sides locally and globally," says Torstein Johansen, Managing Director of Resco. Nordic websites are currently being upgraded. Projects planned for the future include production of extranets in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As a content provider, Resco also collaborates extensively with British Airways' advertising agency in conjunction with promotional campaigns.
