Platform review

Which CMS should we pick? An answer you can defend.

Every platform looks good in a vendor demo. The hard part is knowing which one suits your content, your team and your budget, and what it will cost to move.

A platform review answers that with evidence. We map what you have, turn your team's needs into criteria, score the market against them and prototype the shortlist, so the choice rests on something your people have used.

What you get

A choice made on evidence

Every system in the picture and how they connect: the CMS, the DAM, search, CRM and the integrations nobody has written down. Often it is the first time anyone has seen it on one page.

How it runs

From the current state to a clear choice

  1. Map the current state

    Workshops and interviews to understand what you have, what hurts and what the business needs next.

  2. Set the criteria

    The pain points and needs, ranked and turned into assessment criteria everyone has agreed to.

  3. Scan the market

    The candidate platforms scored against the criteria, with the reasons for each score on the record.

  4. Prototype the shortlist

    A proof of concept on the leading options, so the call is made against something your team has used.

  5. Recommend and plan

    A recommendation, a future state and a plan for the move, ready for your executive.
