BAE Systems today announced the successful launch of its new web site, which is designed to give journalists the information they want - when they want it - through a Virtual Newsroom.
While the web address is the same - www.baesystems.com - the new site features more information about the company, focusing on our capabilities, breadth, scope, systems integration and the professionalism of our employees.
The Virtual Newsroom contains the latest company information, archives of previous press releases, facts about the company and its capabilities as well as biographies of senior management. An image gallery contains high-resolution jpeg files of our senior management team as well as key products in space, air, land and sea. The comprehensive Facts Book, which contains details of facts, organisation and contacts for BAE Systems is now available on-line and will be continually updated.
Other improvements include a new Investor Relations area with financial data, historic trends showing company performance over time and the up-to-date share price. There is also focus on our leading-edge innovators - some of the best and brightest minds discovering innovation round every corner and delivering world-class capabilities, products and services.
BAE Systems welcomes feedback and invites journalists to use the contact system in the new site to send their views to the "webmaster".
