Impact Story
Our client, a global asset management company, was dealing with overlapping tools and rising costs across more than 70 websites run by its subsidiaries. We helped them update and simplify their digital setup, making it easier to manage, reducing costs, and improving how teams work together.
Challenge
Our esteemed client, a Canadian multinational company standing tall as one of the world's largest alternative investment management firms, oversees a staggering US$200+ billion of assets under management. Faced with redundant technology efforts and soaring costs across their extensive portfolio of 70+ organization web properties, they entrusted us to usher in a transformative era. The challenge was clear: unify the diverse ecosystem while preserving the unique identity of each entity, harmonizing a digital landscape marked by redundancy and stifled innovation.
Solution
We helped modernize the client's group of websites by introducing a shared content management system (CMS) with a library of reusable components. This made it easier for teams to manage content and work together across different sites. A flexible design system allowed each site to follow the same visual standards while keeping its own identity. We also connected the websites to live Morningstar stock data to give users up-to-date investment information.
To support this setup, we upgraded the hosting environment to handle enterprise needs. This included strong security, backup systems in different regions for recovery, and tools to help meet compliance requirements. The result is a stable, secure platform that supports each business’s specific needs while making day-to-day operations simpler and more consistent.
01
The introduction of a Content Management System (CMS) formed the backbone of our strategy. This robust system was equipped with a rich catalogue of reusable components, fostering collaboration and innovation across the diverse portfolio of 70+ organization web properties.
02
To ensure a distinct identity for each organization, we implemented a brandable design system. This allowed for customization while maintaining a cohesive look and feel across the entire portfolio, giving each web property its unique personality within the collective visual framework.
03
Our solution elevated their digital infrastructure to an enterprise scale, offering a shared platform fortified with robust security measures, geo-redundancy for disaster recovery, and built-in compliance features. This not only ensured the protection of sensitive data but also provided a resilient foundation for continuous operations.
04
The diverse portfolio of 70+ organization web properties became a canvas for digital innovation. Our solution not only catered to the unique needs of each entity but also fostered collaboration, where shared resources and best practices enhanced the collective digital prowess.
05
We designed components that met the specific needs of each organization while making sure they could be reused across the full portfolio. This helped reduce duplicate work and made it easier to manage updates across all sites. By involving different teams in the design process, we encouraged collaboration and made it easier to share ideas and solutions.
06
Acknowledging that digital excellence is an ongoing journey, we established a comprehensive support ecosystem. Continuous support packages were made available for every organization, ensuring that digital assets remained resilient, secure, and up-to-date.
The Impact
The project had a wide-reaching impact. Over 70 websites across different organizations were updated and brought onto a shared platform. This made it easier to manage content, reuse tools, and follow common practices. Working together also helped reduce costs and improve the quality of each site. We set up a support system to keep everything secure, running smoothly, and up to date. New websites can now be launched much faster, helping each organization react quickly to changing needs. The shared platform also gave smaller teams access to the same tools and features as larger ones, making the digital experience more consistent and fair across the board.
