The Challenge
Traditional, Outdated System Leading to Low Efficiency and a Poor Customer Experience
Even though a giant in the sector, the client hadn’t invested in technology for more than a decade. Today, an ultra-modern business website is an invaluable asset to any organization. The client struggled to make a definitive online presence, facing issues around aspects such as accessibility and usability. With the client entering new markets and facing strong rivals, it was business-critical to digitize and modernize its various activities. This included the website, customer service, and customer experience. The client’s competitors were already making a significant impact on customers, and so, the client needed to respond instantaneously.
The company recognized that it required architecture recommendations, a definitive roadmap, a well-organized Content Management System (CMS), and highly reliable Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools. Besides, the company had already devised aggressive growth plans for the coming years in the sector. In short, to meet these key objectives, the client needed a comprehensive strategy providing workable solutions that included:
● Enabling seamless modification and modernization of the website with limited help from the IT team
● Simplifying processes so marketers could plan content and publish seamlessly
● Leveraging the best technology architecture to stay ahead of competitors
● Drafting a detailed roadmap with feasible objectives and goals

● Devising a detail-oriented cost analysis plan for future collaborations and development
● Effortlessly managing content displayed on the website through a single tool
● Making access to services for customers more flexible, reliable, and instant
● Ensuring that the organization had a strong online presence and authority.
