SolarWinds
"Stamp" Site Framework
Scope: CMS-Driven Micro-site Framework
Details
Acquisition of technology companies is a major part of the SolarWinds strategy to extend their presence and awareness with IT professionals and deepen their capabilities within the systems and application market. Newly acquired brands require a smooth transition into the SolarWinds family with limited interruption in product sales and support. Using the Kentico CMS, Adaptdev:
- Developed a ‘Stamp Site’ framework that can be copied and customized for each new technology brand
- Leveraged a library of native Kentico features such as Templates, Widgets, and Doc Types to provide the flexibility to mix and match page components to create a site that supports the needs of each individual company
- Site managed through the Kentico CMS Desk (Admin Tool) and requires limited IT involvement
Results
- Allowed the content administrators to get a 2nd brand site up and running under two weeks – dramatically decreasing the time to market
- Creative and development resources are not required to develop new skins, templates, etc.
- Completed a follow-on project that allows for the integration of the microsites into AspDotNetStrorefront to allow for the online purchase of products directly from the microsite
