Case Study: Toshiba achieves streamlined partner portal management and faster content publishing with Sitecore

Managing their partner portal and division’s website successfully with Sitecore

Toshiba’s Business Communications Division faced a rapidly growing website and partner extranet that needed easier editorial management, strict corporate hosting and security controls, and flexible UI/standards compliance. After ClearPeople assessed the requirements, they recommended and implemented Sitecore’s enterprise CMS (Sitecore) to deliver an easy-to-use, standards‑compliant platform for non‑technical editors and controlled staging/publishing.

Using Sitecore CMS (implemented by ClearPeople), Toshiba BCD launched the redesigned site in ten weeks and editors were creating new content after only a few hours of training. Sitecore delivered protected staging and public web‑farm environments, workflow/preview/publishing control, partner extranet logins, postcode search with Google Maps, page aliases for marketing tracking, segmented partner pricing and quick registration; the result was reduced editorial effort, faster publishing, improved partner access and stronger security compliance — benefits Toshiba has leveraged for three years and continues to expand.
