Consolidation unifies brand and enhances site performance.

Arke’s information architecture, Strategy, UX/Design and Implementation work on the U.S. site established the model for consolidation of all seven global websites spanning three different technology platforms.

Our Approach

After our technology evaluations, we understood how all platforms needed to work together.  Sitecore functionality was upgraded and Marketo integrated to engage customers across all user channels. Additional tools were evaluated and added to support translation needs and seamless display of web-based courses.

To ensure platforms would perform as expected we needed to completely understand the customers needs. Target personas and journey maps were created for each target audience: Non-PM, Government, Commercial and the Individual.

Arke challenged it’s Dev/UX teams to reduce friction across the site.

After the CMS upgrade, the successful integrations of eCommerce and MAP the subscription engine experience was designed and deployed resulting in less customer clicks and enhanced content engagement across the site.

Key areas of optimization

  • Ecommerce Experience
  • Omni-channel Engagement
  • Demand Generation for Subscription Engine
  • Course Experience
  • Author/Editor Experience

Beginning any project with a strong understanding of your customer needs is a must. We urged Strategy Execution to re-evaluate their customer needs. After revising customer personas and journey maps it helped identify customers/prospects behavioral gaps in current-state journeys and afforded our teams time to ideate and document future-state enhancements. New customer personas and journeys also helped to align to evolving brand messaging.

Reuse, recycle and save.

Reusable design components and seamless language versioning make it easier for the Strategy Execution team to build new pages and create region specific versions of pages.

After careful consideration and design of the StrategyEX subscription engine, early conversion data indicates an overall favorable customer experience.
