Headquarters: Stockport, England
Industry: Local Government
Solutions: Alterian Content Manager
Alterian Partner: J2 Interactive
Synopsis:
Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council wanted to improve the performance, functionality and scalability of www.stockport.gov.uk. Working with Alterian partner J2 Interactive Ltd, Stockport MBC have recently launched the new website using Alterian CME ( Enterprise Edition ) the latest Alterian Content Management solution to deliver a customer centric website with transactional facilities for online.
‘The website was originally an information portal. As demand increased for online services, Stockport extended the existing website to cope, but it soon became apparent that the best way to successfully meet the needs of our customers, both now and in the future, was to introduce greater scalability with a more functional solution. Working with J2 Interactive we have recently upgraded to the latest multi-site functionality of the Alterian CMS which means that we can now deliver a number of websites from a single shared platform. Alterian Content Manager was the best solution to fulfil our objectives for a self service website which would enable us to communicate with our customer more directly, help us save money and increase the efficiency of all our online communications.’
