Optimizely Content Management System solved some issues we were having with inefficiencies and the flexibility of our previous Content Management System. This in combination with AI capabilities with content recommendations has been driving great results for our organisation. We are looking to further expand our Content Management System with the use Optimizley headless CMS capabilities.

The Optimizely Content Management System was selected just over 3 years ago following a stringent RFP process and was implemented in conjunction with a platinum partner of Optimizely. The product was to replace WordPress as that application did not meet the needs of our growing organisation and could not meet the business needs to provide the required customer experience. Optimizely was selected as it was the superior product in the market place and represented great value for money and ease of use for the business.

We manage our college website and market our programs to prospective students using Optimizely CMS to ensure that all information is up-to-date. Optimizely CMS makes it easy to manage multiple web users that update content on their respective web pages. We use the CMS on a daily basis to push out marketable information and awareness about our college and the different programs we have available to our constituents.

We just basically use it for marketing, coupled with dynamics marketing. So we don't have a problem, we're just using it because we're supporting it, we're a partner and then I'm just able to pick up on what's good about it so I can sell it better.

We use it to host our 7 websites including ours. We have lot of scope to achieve the high level of Digital Maturity as an organization but Optimizely Content Management System provides the system which is easy to use for Marketers and content can be updated without the help of developers. In my opinion, UI can be a bit better , but we like the support from their team.

Optimizely Content Management System provides us an easy to use user management system, page publishing interface and tools for content creators to update our site on a regular basis. It connects to Optimizely's Commerce system to integrate ecommerce and static page content into one platform.
