Challenge

VCU Health was seeking a new digital agency to not only migrate the primary website to a new digital experience platform, but to select a partner who would help guide the unification of their digital ecosystem and develop a strategy to simplify the management of content across multiple system brands and digital properties.

Outcome

MERGE utilized the Sitecore DXP to create a component based design system which allows for reuse of content and functionality across the various brands within the VCU Health system of entities. MERGE redesigned and developed new websites for the three major entities within the organization. MERGE oversaw the orchestration of a migration to Sitecore and Salesforce platforms, empowering the organization with a full complement of custom eTools and features.

Results

MERGE developed three distinct sites for the various brands within VCU Health on a single Sitecore instance.

 

In addition to allowing for a high level of content syndication and dynamic association across various service lines and tools, the unified component library allows for the presentation of a specific functionality to be automatically applied based on the design system and user experience developed to support the initiative.

 

To further empower website administrators, MERGE developed a Component Guidebook that demonstrates both the versatility of the Sitecore components and the express of each brand's version of the shared component library.
