SYNOPSISSSA Global (now part of the Infor group) took the
decision to implement a proprietary Content Management System (CMS) when
the number of sites and volume of information being updated across the
worldwide sites grew to an unmanageable level. The content was being
managed via an outdated piece of difficult and unwieldy legacy software,
and the existing sites were not scalable and were unable to handle
increased content or traffic volumes.
Using Mediasurface, SSA were able to create comprehensive, scalable, fully regionalized sites, managed and maintained by the staff in those regions. Other CMS systems evaluated were found to have too much unnecessary and superfluous functionality which was felt to detract from the main point of the new implementation.
The new site has transformed content management in the company, with local authors taking responsibility for their own content and sites. The regional sites now truly reflect the nature of the local market and are maintained regularly by those who understand the region they serve.Employees right across the SSA Global network now actively turn to the websites for information and guidance on a vast range of subjects.
