Migration and consolidation of 20 websites into a single site

CIMA global had one of the most complex migration requiremtns and chose EPiServer because it's flexibility and scalability.

• 5,000 Reddot pages onto the EPiServer CMS platform (which is a stable and flexible .Net platform for content management). 
• Creation of a large and complex - yet hugely resilient - infrastructure.
• Seamless integration with Google Search.  Functionality such as ‘top links’ and ‘you could also try’ is ‘content weighted’ to offer consistent search across different kinds of content.
• EPiServer CMS is fully integrated with Siebel CRM (customer relationship management software).  As a result, over 5000 pages of useful Siebel data is presented on the web. Popular and valuable data, such as ‘exemptions from CIMA exams’, is visible and searchable.
• Single sign-on functionality means users need only sign in once to be presented with personalised content and access to other resources such as community and Siebel CRM services without having to sign in again.

Better targeting and improved efficiency   

The new site went live in January 2010. It is now easier to update social media (Twitter, Facebook) using content from the site. The site is also easy for content editors who don’t have technical skills to update.  They can now add text, Flash videos and feeds from photo galleries quickly and easily. With the permission-setting feature, it enables more targeted marketing to CIMA members and personalised content-delivery means users now receive information which is specifically targeted at them..
