Our Solution

Web Content Management using LP4W

Point Alliance worked with DTZ Barnicke to revitalize its online presence with a new website design in addition to centralizing the web content using Point Alliance’s Launch Pad for Web (LP4W) product.

Here are some of the key components of the solution provided to DTZ Barnicke: • Improved cost efficiencies By using LP4W, Point Alliance was not only able to greatly reduce the time

and cost involved in completing this project, it also allowed for future cost savings associated with the easy management and maintenance of web content.

• Decentralized content management A key component of this solution was to decentralize the management of

the web content. For DTZ Barnicke, this means that administrative staff in their regional offices are easily able to maintain property information, such as units available for lease or sale.

• Migration of existing content Using LP4W allowed Point Alliance to easily migrate DTZ Barnicke’s

existing information and content from their legacy system to the new solution. Content managers and users can now access both new and existing material with ease.

• Ease of use With LP4W’s user-friendly interface, DTZ Barnicke is now able to assign

the task of content management to employees with minimal technical skills. This made individual offices and departments responsible for maintaining their own content and ensured that the most accurate information was available online in a timely manner.

Case Study

and execution of this project and were extremely happy with the end result.”
