A lot of customer data is hard/impossible/too time consuming to analyze
Adapting the experience to customer behavior is challenging
Predicting marketing results and proving the effectiveness of campaigns is hard and inaccurate

8. Industry Recognition
Now, let’s talk a bit about how the industry recognize us.
I’ll start with Gartner – there are hundreds of vendors who do CMS, but there are only 20 vendors in the world who are in the Gartner report. In the Gartner 2014 WCM report, Sitefinity was recognized for it’s great value, mobile strategy and integration story.
Sitefinity was also ranked #1 in Usability in the Gleanster 2014 Web Content Management Report.
We’ve won numerous awards along the years and I’m not going to bore you with that. Most recently we won the Critic’s Choice Award for Best Enterprise .NET CMS

First Group Case Study Interview
(not on Sitefinity yet)
First Group owns and operates the largest bus network in public transit in North America and the UK – this includes student bus lines, charter lines, the Greyhound brand, UK Rail and so on.
Why did First Group go with a centralized multisite approach?
First group was running a combination of CMS systems for various websites, they needed to redesign all of them – everything in the same platform.
They ended up building 6 properties in the same multisite instance.
2 different departments work on half of each of the multisite installation
There is some content sharing between them - lists of buses, content & forms, career submissions are shared across some of the sites that is going into the main repository.
2 sites are Canadian and need to support French as well as share some of the templates, digital assets
What key problems did Sitefinity solve?
Staying on brand was a critical part of the redesign and the choice to go with a centralized installation, allowed them to centrally control brand and digital assets as well as templates.
Their old installation used to have a lot of custom built code that was used to centralize form submissions and provide inventory tracking on product.
What are some of the more complex parts of the implementation?
Complex requirements include custom modules, custom forms, multilingual implementation, and mobile templates.
Making changes to the website was very often a manual process - update a spreadsheet, send to agency, agency makes the update through code.
With the new project a few of the sites were redesigned – allowing them to have a responsive website
A key implemented area was location pages – input the city or the zip code to get certain locations of their offices.
Which were your most complex websites:
The last one has presence in US, Canada
What is your next project?
An Ecommerce site to sell equipment that goes onto buses
In the future there are more site integrations, more departments wanting to hop on Sitefinity.
Excited to bring more divisions on.
How are migrations and business user training being handled?
Content migrations handled by Leap, they manage maintenance.
Provided a training prior to handle authoring.
More advanced marketing features are being discussed – because they have streamlined process and eliminated roadblocks they now can move the conversation and training towards more strategic and advanced marketing.
They are now working towards optimizing content - thinking strategically towards to the content – now it’s making sure they have the right kind of content, they are able to focus on marketing rather than the mechanics of getting content on the website
Where is the system hosted?
The system is hosted in the cloud – Microsoft azure.
They didn’t have the servers to do that in house. They had a previous agency that had the site captive. They didn’t want their properties captive – the cloud allowed them to feel that they can get control over their projects.
What integrations were provided: Salesforce integration – lead capturing towards Salesforce. Pardot integration.
The Canadian sites only took 1 month with copying the templates and translating and adapting content.
