Case Study: Atlanta Regional Commission achieves reduced training costs and improved SEO with Bridgeline Digital's iAPPS Content Manager

Reducing Training Costs, Enhancing SEO, and providing user resources with iAPPS

The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the regional planning and intergovernmental coordination agency for Atlanta and its 10-county region, needed a scalable, easy-to-manage web solution as its number of content contributors grew. Their legacy CMS (RedDot) imposed inflexible seat licensing, an unintuitive admin interface, and rising training costs, and ARC also wanted better SEO and findability for the wealth of public resources on their site.

Bridgeline implemented its iAPPS Content Manager as a SaaS solution, adding role- and permission-based workflows, built-in SEO features (friendly URLs, metadata), and a seamless backend integration with ARC’s GIS and other tools on a scalable .NET platform. The result: flexible licensing with no seat limits, reduced retraining and administration overhead, hosted management of updates and security, and a more agile, user-friendly site that delivers maps, files and other resources more effectively.
