Case Study: Deakin University achieves a 50% reduction in broken links with Siteimprove

Managing Web Content Across Large OrganiZations

Deakin University, a large Australian higher-education institution with over 200 content contributors across four campuses, needed a way to monitor and maintain consistent, accessible web content without manually proofreading every item. The university faced inconsistent writing and branding, the need to meet government AA accessibility requirements, and a major content migration to a new CMS that required auditing to decide what to migrate, update, or decommission.

Deakin implemented Siteimprove to provide quality assurance, accessibility checks, SEO insights and prioritized error monitoring, allowing teams to scan early and focus on the most impactful issues. The tool sped up CMS migration decisions, improved governance and visibility with features like the History Graph, and helped cut broken links by 50% even as new content was added.
