About Univeris
Univeris is the dominant provider of Enterprise Wealth Management Systems to the Canadian market. Offering the only complete, modular front office, distribution and manufacturing platform.
Enabling investment dealers, banks, insurance companies and others to drive their strategies into the marketplace, reduce operating costs and optimize around their competitive advantage.
Problem
We were awarded the contract again with a very short timeframe
motivated by a complete re-branding of the company and name
change. The company originally named CTA Systemsource was very
well know successful supplier of enterprise wealth management
systems and software and needed the company website to reflect
the new image designed by Thrive Design and Harry Cornelius.
Solutions
Inorbital worked with the stakeholders to arrange and organize a
more fluid and logical navigation while implementing a seamless
and scalable site with our CMS system integrated. Since Univeris had
been working with Thrive we were able to retain the same graphics and photos that
were used to create a cohesive look and feel tied in with all the
marketing,
on and off line. This gave the site a
dramatic improvement and level of professionalism you would expect from this
company.
Inorbital also implemented a site Content Management Solution with an application database and tiered administrator and content owner access. By implementing the CMS from the outset we were able design with restrictions imposed by the CMS while exceeding other of the client’s objectives with services and functionality. The content is now much easier to modify and sections and menu items are easily added with the browser based – Word-like - editor. There was also a need to implement a Newsletter subscription tool and sophisticated survey capabilities. This content delivery is arranged almost exclusively using style sheets for each: structure and style allowing for any major style change to take place site wide from either of these css files and the CMS.
Results
The project was delivered on time even with revisions and
modifications.
This is a project that all team members worked diligently and cooperated with each other to satisfy all parties involved from design to stakeholder.
In the end the site represents a contemporary modern design with a common layout and consistent organization
representative of Univeris’s new branding and promotional
materials.
