Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Arc XP is the CMS that powers our news site, from content creation to distribution. Enables the newsroom to publish and edit stories, manage photos, curate content on the different sections and verticals of the site. Arc XP offers a framework for web development, it's highly customizable for design and integration with other platforms and systems.

Pros

  • Enables content creation and curation
  • Content distribution. Web and APIs
  • Easy to use development framework with good documentation and support

Cons

  • The CMS lacks a responsive design web interface or a good native app alternative.
  • It's heavily dependent on the AWS infrastructure and a disruption of the AWS service can cause serious problems

Return on Investment

  • After the implementation of the CMS, the development team started focusing more on developing new features for the site than maintaining the CMS and the infrastructure. 100% of the work is now focused on creating value to the customer.
