Our content and units were siloed, Brightspot helped unify our content and enforce brand and style guidelines across the organization.
  • Ease of use to users
  • Intuitive display
  • High traffic loads
  • Documentation
  • Updates on new features being available
  • Mathematical equations
Suited for populating multi-site assets. It would be less appropriate for replacing a journal publishing system.
