Case Study: British Thoracic Society achieves 4x faster content management and improved document access with Umbraco

British Thoracic Society - Customer Case Study

The British Thoracic Society (BTS), which serves respiratory health professionals and attracts about 30,000 unique visitors and 3,000+ members monthly, faced a clunky legacy CMS that made content updates and document management difficult, preventing key clinical materials from reaching users. To address this, Agidea implemented the Umbraco CMS to provide a more flexible, manageable platform tailored to BTS’s needs.

Using Umbraco’s flexible Document Type system and back-office configurability, Agidea delivered the site in agile sprints, integrated Microsoft Dynamics member data and Google Analytics, and built a robust document library and metadata/taxonomy workflows. The Umbraco-based solution made content tasks roughly 4× faster, improved discoverability, increased unique visitors and reduced bounce rate, and produced measurable impact such as the Asthma Guideline being downloaded over 6,000 times per month.
