Smith & Williamson, a UK based financial services firm, had a website challenge.
Following a difficult implementation of a well-known enterprise CMS, they were left with 2 choices: Either spend a significant amount of money fixing what should have been working in the first place whilst upgrading to the latest version…or cut their losses and find an alternative solution!
They chose option 2 - A wise decision!
Katie, Graeme, and Adam will take you through the full project journey from planning to delivery and how they succeeded in migrating 2 sites with over 4500 pages to Umbraco in just 12 weeks.
Target audience: Business
Level: Intermediate
