Case Study: Shaw Academy achieves 50% faster course publishing — launching 90 courses in 9 months — with Contentstack

Shaw Academy Accelerates Online Education with contentstack CMS

Shaw Academy, a provider of online certified courses across more than 100 subjects, faced a surge of learners during COVID and needed a user-friendly, fast-to-deploy CMS to scale multimedia courses, manage dozens of educators, and reduce reliance on engineering. They selected Contentstack (Contentstack CMS) to replace their homegrown system and give business users more control.

Contentstack provided workflows, permissions, release management, and translation features that sped content creation and collaboration. As a result, Shaw Academy published 90 courses in 9 months, reduced course publishing time by 50% (now able to release a course in about a week), launched five new languages, and moved to two releases per week—while empowering nontechnical staff to edit and repackage content more flexibly.
