Cutter: Content Management System

Cutter Consortium is a leading IT advisory firm and publisher of technology journals. The company’s existing site and legacy system were a mix of manual processes, technologies, and desktop tools Furthermore, web publishing required substantial time and effort for the production staff. We developed a sophisticated content management system for Cutter. Our project team created the design, implemented the system, integrated the web site with the legacy subscription system, and migrated more than 14,000 pages of existing content. The Cutter web site now provides subscribers with a range of tools for browsing and searching to facilitate rapid access to online content. User features include site registration, account management, and subscription for online newsletters. Search engine optimization was a critical goal for this site, and our team implemented a number of features, such as public abstract pages to ensure good search engine rankings. As a result of our efforts, the new system has dramatically improved the customer experience for subscribers. In addition, Cutter has been able to introduce a range of new marketing initiatives while eliminating the complex manual effort required to maintain the site’s currency.
