The solution
HGS Solution’s team of CMS experts has reviewed multiple scenarios and recommended the client continue as is with their current EWCM application and consider a partial move to a headless CMS delivery. This approach will help realize the advantages of decreasing vendor dependency in addition to reducing software license costs. With the current vendor extending support till 2021, the client has ample time to explore migration options and benefit from savings on upgrade license costs. HGS Digital helped the client on the successful transformation toward a headless CMS model by defining an accurate roadmap and executing a proof-of-concept for the proposed model.
Results
Smarter Publishing: Content authors gain more control with the UI/UX decoupled from the CMS. This helps authors control the look and feel of the content without coding work from designers and developers.
Better Scalability: The entire CMS application will be hosted on a cloud platform, which scales up or down automatically based based on business needs.
Zero Downtime: The entire application build will be completely automated with Jenkins. This will ensure no downtime during new deployments.
Anticipated Cost Savings:
- No additional costs on application servers
- Eliminating annual maintenance costs
- Minimizing the dependencies for on-premises servers
