Case Study: City of Kentwood achieves streamlined content management and improved security with Kentico CMS

City of Kentwood - Customer Case Study

The City of Kentwood, Michigan, faced a difficult website modernization: a nearly six-year-old site with more than 1,000 pages that was hard to update, suffered a security compromise, relied on disparate Microsoft Access tools and manual processes, and didn’t render well on newer browsers and mobile devices. City leaders needed a secure, long-term platform that would preserve existing content and simplify editorial workflows.

BizStream implemented Kentico CMS, programmatically migrating about 98% of content and preserving the original file structure in Kentico’s media library, while replacing multiple mini-applications with custom document types and a workflow-driven single web application. The result: content updates are over 100% easier and faster, approvals can be completed in four clicks with email notifications, pages render faster across browsers, and the site now runs on a secure, easy-to-manage platform.
