Challenge

LivaNova’s public-facing website and intranet were built by a different Kentico Xperience implementor. These implementations were not easy for LivaNova’s content editors to maintain and make changes. LivaNova came to BlueModus to upgrade on Kentico Xperience 12 Portal Engine, but also to help make their overall implementation easier for content editors – all while keeping in mind, they would later be migrating to Kentico Xperience MVC.

Solution

BlueModus and LivaNova decided to take a unique and cost-saving approach to all changes knowing that LivaNova will eventually be migrating to Kentico Xperience MVC. With every new feature BlueModus built, we not only created a better content editor experience but made these changes, so they could port to MVC. For example, LivaNova’s new product template for its public-facing website was built for Portal Engine but utilizes widgets and structures that will later easily port to MVC. 

With their news and news listing templates in their Intranet (Edge), we introduced MVC’s page types and content modeling. This allows them to now have different types of news and a dynamic news listing page. Additionally, they could now publish an article once and have it populated in multiple places within Edge. Previously they were recreating this content multiple times to post in multiple locations. Additionally, we restructured LivaNova’s media libraries to allow for easier use by content editors and greater readability by users.

"BlueModus brings innovative solutions and ideas to the table every week, and their keen attention to detail keeps our projects moving on time and in budget. Not only are they forward-thinking, diligent, and enjoyable to work with, we consider them an extension of our own team."
