Case Study

Case study: Informa Telecoms & Media

Technology Director at Informa Telecoms & Media

Informa-qoute3

The facts:

  • Development on Informa’s legacy site was around 1 week. This has been reduced to an average of 2-3 days. Development time of large complex sites has been reduced from 3-4 weeks to 1-2 weeks.
  • The system is much easier to use for both administrators and users.
  • Massively reduced learning curve for administrators.
  • Huge reduction in support requests.
  • Much more flexible development platform with no limitation from utilising the latest internet technologies.
How long did a site build take on legacy platforms for the larger sites?

A large site, from the very beginning, design to putting it live was taking 3 to 4 weeks.

What were the 3 (or more) main hindrances to a fast turnaround? Example, learning curve, too complex for those outside IT to use?

There were a number of issues that slowed our lead times, mostly due to the CMS we were using. We had to constantly think about how we would allow the site to remain (mostly) editable by people outside of the technical team. This affected the template building and how we added content and images. We couldn’t copy and paste text directly from Word, and images had to be cropped and sized correctly before being uploaded. This means that loading images and files into the system was painstakingly slow and cumbersome, especially if you had loads of them. Also, if images or other files were too large, the upload would fail. The CMS wouldn’t support the upload of the latest Jquery either so we always had to create work arounds. The same applied for Flash XML content.

Do you manage to get other members of staff outside of the IT department now to start contributing to content?

As with anything technical, some marketers are more eager than others. However, we’ve been told that the new system is far less daunting and more of the users seem keen to get involved and add content themselves.

Can you list any positive feedback you have received outside of your technical department?

The new CMS was a lot easier and straight forward to use, searching for the right page to edit was easy, as well as adding content and images. And, the dashboard is a lot easier to navigate around.
