Case Study: College of Engineering at Notre Dame University boosts content sharing and site management with Six Feet Up

College of Engineering at Notre Dame University boosts content publishing with Six Feet Up and a 6-department multisite hub

The College of Engineering at Notre Dame University faced a challenge with its numerous departments and research centers all maintaining independent, unintegrated websites. This resulted in a lack of brand consistency, resource pooling and central oversight. They engaged Six Feet Up to implement a solution using the Plone content management system to establish a unified umbrella brand.

Six Feet Up implemented a Plone multisite infrastructure using their Lineage add-on to create individual sub-sites for each department and center. They developed additional add-ons, Resonate for content syndication and Spotlight for a dynamic staff directory, and integrated the site with the university's LDAP authentication. The solution led to content being published more frequently, a significant increase in web traffic, improved search engine rankings, and made content management much easier for staff.
