Technical consultancy for Multimap

Multimap approached Made by Many at a point when they needed a content management system but weren’t sure which would provide the best fit to their business at that time and going forward. Their feature requirements were quite straightforward but the implementation requirement would be complex. Concentrating on feature requirements could result in selecting a product that would be difficult or impossible to implement.

Our approach

We took stock of Multimap’s website architecture and took the approach that the best CMS would be the one that met the most feature requirements but also required the least significant rework of the existing Multimap website. 

Future requirements were vague at the time of our consult, so we focused our research on the management systems that could cope with flexible content types. We collated documentation from the previous CMS project and the requirements for a new CMS, and we interviewed stakeholders to establish their requirements.

Forward-planning a CMS implementation when requirements were bound to change meant that flexibility had to come before features

How it all went

The deliverable for this project was a consultancy document that would recommend a range of CMS options to fit Multimap. We delivered this and kept the project in scope by focusing on management systems that could cope with flexible content types.
