It works for you
Platform installation and configuration, design and implementation of publications, schemas, templates and template building blocks - whatever your specific needs, our SDL Tridion implementation will be truly bespoke.
Building Blocks will build the solution that matches your exact needs. From best practice template development, audience manager and outbound email integration to event system and workflow configuration, it will be aligned to your requirements, so you get the most from the tools.
Ready made templates and template building blocks
Over the years we have amassed an internal library of SDL Tridion generic templates and template building blocks. They're battle tested and provide an unquestionably robust starting point to build upon. And utilising our dedicated Tridion template and front end developers gets templates built rapidly, whilst delivering reduced risk to the project.
Our aim is always to give you maximum use from your investment. With that goal in mind we'll often build integrations with your other systems and technologies, to promote reuse of content from a central source.
Working your way
To ensure the project moves forward as smoothly as possible for your system users and IT department, we will align our approach with your internal IT processes. This will take into account such factors as your networking, security or deployment arrangements.
The technical lead we assign to your project will of course be an SDL Tridion expert. This person will 'own' the job right down the line, from specification through to deployment and handover.
Minimised risk
And throughout the whole project, rigorously enforced documented development processes and procedures are maintained, to mitigate any risk involved in the installation, configuration or build.
Testing
Along with formalised system and UAT testing, we perform peer testing and code review at regular intervals. This ensures that the best techniques are being utilized, and helps more of our developers to become familiar with your project.
Deployment and rollout
Careful advanced planning is essential for a successful deployment. That's why we consult with your IT team right at the outset, so the infrastructure is well defined, and the potential for 'surprises' is minimized.
This is further supported by creating the detailed deployment plan itself during the testing phase, so it really does mirror the realities of the built solution.
Safety in experience
And having successfully performed so many SDL Tridion implementations, we've also picked up quite a few tips and tricks on how to get the solution working perfectly.
As a further quality safeguard, the deployment plan is written as though it's intended for an IT team member who doesn't know the solution. The document can therefore successfully guide deployment even if the person is not fully up to speed with the project or its technology.
Handover and training
Before deployment, all technical documentation is updated so it accurately reflects the end product.
We can also create detailed user guides for business users, content editors and the technical team - a key factor in successfully delivering ongoing support to your web site.
