Business Challenge
Logica is a global solutions company providing management and IT consulting, systems integration, and outsourcing services. They offer 29 localized country websites in 19 languages with staff at each location to manage their respective content. With numerous geographically distributed editors each maintaining their regional sites, the global IT staff was facing a growing challenge with consistency. Logica needed a custom content management system (CMS) that would meet a host of needs:
- Integrate easily with their global web presence
- Establish and maintain brand consistency
- Ensure each site’s compliance with corporate Web standards
- Eliminate publishing and timing barriers across global and localized sites
- Provide better accountability and auditing tools
- Improve the efficiency of deploying Web content
The Solution
PixelMEDIA designed, built, and developed a custom CMS to control updating and creating all pages across the 29 Logica country websites. This solution marks success with a number of features:
- An intuitive and easy-to-use system for local administrators to manage the pages and content on their respective site
- A Microsoft® Word-like content editing screen
- A preview page for the user to review changes before publishing
- Predefined workflow to review and approve changes before publishing
- Controls for IT administrators to manage local users’ access and editing privileges
- Flexibility to meet the needs of local administrators without compromising existing corporate standards
The Impact
Now editors update the country sites more frequently and IT administrators can enforce consistency worldwide. The country CMS has helped in several ways:
- Significantly reduced the cost of managing 29 sites
- Enforced the brand consistency,
- Facilitated site maintenance,
- Maintained consistent content presentation and navigation
- Controlled the design templates.
I truly appreciate everything PixelMEDIA has done in such a short time. You should be really proud of what has been accomplished. – Chris Messina, Project Manager Internet / Intranet, Logica
