New Media Labs wins pitch to develop a new content management system for Nedgroup Investments

Posted by admin on Dec 10th, 2008 | Comments

New Media Labs in collaboration with Global Vision and Stonewall+ won the bid to redevelop the Nedgroup Investments Content Management System. The creative pitch from Stonewall+ was excellent, this coupled with our technology pitch made the decision to go Stonewall+/NML/GV a no brainer. NML will be doing the dev, GV will be providing Business Analysis, Project Management and Testing services.

Our base layer CMS was used for the development. Often when you tell clients you own a CMS they are skeptical – “why would you want to own or build a CMS when there are so many out there”. The reality is, a site like this is not only managing textual content it is managing the business content too. In other words you have to manage the data for each investment fund, the allocations of the fund and price performance over time. These are the kinds of systems NML has become experts in developing.

NML do not claim to own a packaged CMS or CMS framework. Packaged and Framework are words we’ve become skeptical of. We have a base layer of CMS code , that has been designed with integration in mind, to tie the company’s business model into the content management system. Our CMS allows for the usual features such as adding pages, changing navigation and publishing workflow.
