Case Study: Concordia University Chicago achieves improved web experience and departmental content control with Episerver

University improves web experience for current and prospective students

Concordia University Chicago needed a stronger web presence to attract and retain students in a competitive higher-education market. The university sought a scalable content management platform that would let academic departments and a wide range of editors easily create and manage content spanning programs, events and news.

Working with The Lawlor Group and Episerver partner Blend Interactive, Concordia implemented Episerver CMS with advanced content modeling, a flexible events calendar and Banner integration for a synced faculty/staff directory and prospective-student workflows. Department-level content control, a mobile site built with Episerver MobilePack and centralized content sources simplified management of ~1,000 records, improved information accessibility and cross-promotion, and helped boost engagement and conversion for recruitment and campus events.
