Unified Digital Platform

Opportunity

Complex legacy platform and fragmented experience

A multi-brand hospitality giant with premium luxury hotels, residences and resorts had been engaging with customers across a number of platforms. However, their three subsidiary brands had their own websites which led to fragmented customer journeys. The existing platform lacked the capability to deliver personalized, intuitive and consistent experiences to high-profile customers across the globe. This posed a significant obstacle to understanding and anticipating preferences of elite, international clientele. Subsequently, there were also challenges with identifying and monetizing new opportunities.

 

The complexity of these legacy platforms made it difficult to track user journey across devices, geographies and languages. This in turn negatively impacted booking conversions. The legacy applications also increased OPEX.

 

The fragmented experience made choosing between brands challenging and did not have the capabilities to make bookings from a single channel.

Solution

Single content management platform

The client required improvements in their overall user experience and required a design that aligned their UI with their UX vision. The primary goal was to improve user engagement, increase conversion rates, and reduce costs in alignment with each subsidiary brand’s strategy.

 

With multiples websites catering to different geographies, effective content management was another important business need.

 

Additionally, the client expressed the need to move from an on-premise solution to a cloud-based solution and distribute and manage data across multiple systems.

 

Leveraging knowledge of mobile app development and integrations to develop pre-arrival functionality across all brand websites was also part of the requirement.


We offered the client the option of a single content management solution to facilitate content delivery across web platforms and geographies.

 

We recommended adopting Sitecore Business Optimization Strategies (SBOS) to enable personalization, upselling and cross-selling. The features of the new digital platform included omnichannel, personalized, contextual content.

 

We suggested a robust sub-system integration, code reuse and single code base for all brands. Horizontally scalable content delivery solutions were suggested using Akamai, ChinaCache and Incapsula.
