Challenges Solved
VHB had all the traditional content management bottleneck issues. The technology team had developed a reasonable homegrown Content Management Solution but the team's resources were more often allocated to other pressing projects so updating the CMS code with new features was last on the list - never mind the support hassle. VHB decided that the opportunity cost of continuing to maintain their current CMS was far to great vs. licensing SR2 and letting Refresh keep up with the feature demands of their organization.
Testimonial
"VHB, like many companies today, had a 'make vs. buy' decision for our first CMS. We thought writing our own CMS would help us learn what the real issues were regarding content driven Web sites and non-techy end user publishing. Our education complete, we embarked on a much larger Web endeavor that had us looking at more robust features such as role based workflow, open publishing, and a scalable secure database driven model. With all of our homegrown CMS knowledge, we knew exactly what was needed to fit our information architecture as well as the advanced features and functions of our next CMS. SR2 met ALL of our requirements with a great price point and minimal training!"
