Case Study: United Business Media achieves rapid rollout of 70+ websites and a standardized web platform with Liferay

Multinational media giant rolls out over 70 websites with new standardized solution

United Business Media Information (UBMi), part of global media group UBM, operates over 100 brands across 30 countries and more than 5,000 employees. Fragmented web platforms left content distribution slow and costly, with limited internal skills, expensive licensing and maintenance, and little upgrade path—prompting the need for a standardized solution.

UBMi selected Liferay Portal with CIGNEX Datamatics as system integrator, rolling out more than 70 websites in 20 months. The unified platform reduced license, support and infrastructure costs, sped site launches, improved CMS features (shared content, communities, SEO-friendly pages, multi-image upload and tagging) and put content control back in the hands of business teams.
