Case Study: King's College London achieves faster, more agile digital development with Contensis

A public research university and one of the highest ranking UK universities in the world

King's College London, a major public research university, needed a modern content management solution to keep pace with the evolving digital needs of its stakeholders, staff, and students. Their challenge was to move away from a legacy on-premise system that was difficult to update and maintain, while also improving the development process and delivering a fast, reliable search experience across its vast digital estate. They turned to the Contensis API-first CMS to address these needs.

By implementing Contensis's cloud platform and Delivery API, King's was able to adopt a modern, agile development approach using React and the Jamstack. This allowed for faster, more confident deployments and easier recruitment of developers. The integrated Search API replaced a separate product, providing a fast and reliable search experience. The results included a more stable, higher-performing service and freed the team from infrastructure maintenance. The product manager cited that Contensis works reliably, can handle complex university structures, and evolves in line with customer needs.
