Challenges

Allied had grown recently through acquisition. They needed to provide a corporate intranet in order to service their offices.

    • Gather informational & service collateral
    • Organize & guide the design process
    • Reconcile look & feel across multiple organizational units
    • Integrate functionality
    • Reinforce entrerprise identity

The client had a strong need for an easily accessible Content Management System.

Solutions

In terms of style, we kept it simple - Just a few information areas with modest pictures. The "look" had to be seamless with the presentation capabilities of Sharepoint.

We provided branding and styling based on Allied's style guides.

Sharepoint could provide structured access to data tables, but the client also needed to easily "micro publish" a corporate newsletter.

CMS Solution: Adobe's Contribute allowed the primary client stakeholder to easily edit and manage updateable content on the site through a set of well-designed templates. She's now very self-sufficient - and happy.
