Enhancing our expertise in content management (CMS)
We’ve all experienced those times when we are faced with an “obvious to everyone other than ourselves” occurrence when we discover something about ourselves. Ours occurred a few weeks ago when someone stated to us, “Thank you for really listening to our problem and not just pushing another platform.” It was at this point that we recognized that what is second nature to us isn’t all that common.
Our technical team at AMPXD has decades of aggregate expertise building content management systems (CMS) and solutions for a broad array of customers and business verticals. What we didn’t recognize until that moment is that part of our collective success has been that we, as technologists, are natural listeners. When our customers are presenting their business difficulties, we don’t take the stance of listening for the pauses to push a predetermined answer but, instead, we take in their words as our own and utilize them to discover the perfect solution.
Actively listening is only one of the many reasons why we do not approach our projects with a predetermined answer or a bundled service, but it is an important one.
Through the years, we realized that every unique business issue statement has an equally distinctive approach. When it comes to CMS, this uniqueness might be how the CMS will connect with other existing software platforms, or it could be a highly special set of business needs that demand more creative thinking. Without listening, we would become prejudiced in our thoughts and unable to fully examine a CMS platform (or any software). By listening to our customers, we came to be dedicated to the concept that technology should assist people and be complimentary to diverse processes as opposed to dictating.
At AMPXD, we take the appropriate time to understand the use case criteria of the problem and balance the many variables of platform selection, such as functional requirements, level of The effort and cost expended to implement this proprietary idea must be provided by providing internal and external resources, before committing to a solution. Our expertise in implementing several CMS systems such as WordPress, Optimizely, Sitecore, Contentful, and Drupal polished our ability to employ the right tool for any project we meet.
Over the course of our next series of postings on technology, we will share experiences with distinctly varied CMS systems in real deployments.
