The client’s various businesses and operations in different countries required the creation of multiple websites. However, due to the lack of uniformity, this resulted in inconsistent branding and user experience.
Lack of standardised data
Inconsistency in data management resulted in longer turnaround times for changes. This also led to a greater reliance on IT for data management due to the lack of standardised data.
