The Requirement

They wanted to:


  • Build a modern CMS and ensure easy migration from their existing portals.
  • Provide a superior editorial experience by overcoming existing tech limitations and crafting rich user engagements with minimal developer dependence.
  • Improve site performance impact, revenue enhancement, and provide a better omnichannel experience.
  • Rebuild the portal and native mobile apps with a fresh look and feel, as well as rich and responsive UX.
  • Streamline the site maintenance across their websites and reduce costs over time.
  • Capture relevant data for content personalization.

The Challenges 

Some of the challenges faced by them were:


  • Limited control over the existing CMS and content personalization.
  • Inability to manage multiple sites on different CMSs and versions resulted in duplication of efforts.
  • Non-intuitive and slow onboarding of new users.
  • Lesser flexibility due to unavailability of reusable layouts and components across the brands.
  • Lack of control over information placement on pages, such as advertisements and recommendations.
  • Slow rollout of feature enhancements due to fragmented CMSs across different products 
  • Lack of advanced search capabilities for CMS, web, and apps.
