Progress announced that Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU Singapore) used the Progress Sitefinity DX platform to transform its digital presence and web experience. The university centralized the management of its over 150 subsites under one domain umbrella, achieving a consistent brand presence and user experience while speeding up time to market and team productivity. Ranked among the worldÆs top universities, NTU Singapore has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering, business, science, humanities, arts, social sciences, education, and medicine.

The university was facing a sprawling web estate and was looking for a new solution to manage its plethora of content and administrative tasks, as well as maintain consistency in branding and visual layouts. Additionally, users had to navigate its multiple subdirectories and subdomains. The university needed a new, intuitive and easy-to-use digital experience platform to drive an enterprise-wide digital transformation.

Centralizing the management of its 150 subsites with the multisite management capabilities of Sitefinity DX, NTU created a unified, powerful and easy to manage digital space, serving as the universityÆs front office to the world. A significant reduction of duplicated web content led to a 11% decrease of the websiteÆs average bounce rate and an 18.5% increase in organic searches. As a result, it is now easier to search and access content across devices and geographical locations.

Leveraging the customization features of Sitefinity DX, non-technical users were empowered to upload content and create design pages with little effort, significantly boosting work productivity. NTU was also able to streamline website workflow and approval processes to accommodate over 100 departments, enabling quality control across numerous business groups.
