The challenge
McArthurGlen needed a new platform for their online presence – and they needed it fast. Taking the output of some in-centre user testing we put together a dedicated combined agency/client scrum team and designed, built, populated, tested and deployed a new site for their Roermond (Holland) outlet in just six weeks. The site needed to be in three languages, transactional, and integrated with internal and external systems for data collection and footfall data, the new site was built on the Optimizely CMS and deployed on their cloud platform.
Once deployed McArthurGlen required a Digital Partner that could work closely with them to enhance the platform year on year, based on the business requirements, and provide 7 day a week support for all the Centres and their websites
The solution
The resounding success of the Roermond pilot meant an accelerated rollout for the remaining 24 outlet sites with the first three launching before Christmas 2016 and the remaining 20 phased over the first quarter 2017. The DAM team led this rollout and have continued as McArthgurGlen’s Digital Partner providing training, content entry support, SEO consultancy, multivariate testing, programme management and 7 day a week Support whilst working closely with Senior Stakeholders to plan and run a continuous improvement work-stream across all 26 sites on an annual basis
I have been hugely impressed with the incredible work ethic, technical and creative skills and capabilities Dam Digital has brought to bear maintaining and continuously developing our Digital Platforms. The way in which they have taken ownership and responsibility for all aspects of project delivery as well as building a solid relationship with out IT department has been exceptional . Along side this they have worked closely with the complex array of stakeholders as well as the challenging timelines which has been truly world class.
