Project Synopsis - Activedition CMS

Origo chose to redesign and redevelop their corporate website www.origoservices.com using the Activedition CMS with C2 as its implementation partner. Origo chose Activedition following evaluation and a need for a functionally rich, open and scalable platform to establish their online business.

The website development consisted of Origo and their chosen creative design agency developing the look and feel and C2 architecting the functionality within the overall website structure. This consisted of:

  • Easy & intuitive authoring interface
  • Separation of content from template look & feel
  • Incorporating a Standards repository with privileged access
  • Custom registration with Unipass integration
  • User migration
  • Granular permission structure
  • Questionnaires and user survey support
  • Use of rich media including video
  • Version control and audit trails
  • Document Management System integration
  • Libraries based on structured content management
  • Incorporation of a range of widgets and assets
  • Search optimised pages & content 

Testimonial

"The financial services industry initiative Origo was borne out of a number of problems identified via industry research and comment. Due to the nature of such a large, complex initiative, Origo (the facilitator for the initiative) not only required a competent Content Management System, but to work with a company that was positive and full of innovative ideas to help develop solutions to a range of difficult requirements."
