Case Study: University of Hull achieves a scalable, high-performance website with Contensis

When web traffic increased by 180%, the University's website continued to run unphased, thanks to Contensis

The University of Hull, a public research university, faced a challenge with its outdated and clunky content management system that could not support its web development workflow or adapt to its needs. To match its heritage with a modern digital presence, the university sought a new, scalable CMS and selected the Contensis cloud-based content management service from Zengenti.

By implementing Contensis, the university's team built a new, streamlined website, reducing its pages from 20,000 to under 3,000. The solution provided an intuitive interface, robust features like workflows and content governance, and reliable performance under pressure. The results included a 180% increase in web traffic handled seamlessly on key dates and a vastly improved experience for both students and staff.
