About the client

 

West Monroe is an AI-native global consulting firm that combines deep industry expertise with modern technology and business transformation capabilities. Through strategic insight and hands-on execution, the firm helps organizations apply AI and technology where it matters most to move faster, create value, and deliver measurable impact.

 

Challenge

 

West Monroe was in the middle of a larger rebrand and needed a more flexible digital platform. Its existing content management system required heavy developer support for updates. That slowed content changes, increased effort, and made it harder to move quickly. West Monroe wanted a modern content management system that could improve performance, reduce content creation effort, and support faster time to market.

 

Solution

 

XCentium migrated West Monroe from Sitecore to Contentstack and restructured the site around new data models and content taxonomies. The team migrated more than 2,000 content items and aligned them with the new platform.

 

XCentium also moved site hosting to Contentstack Launch. More efficient code and the Launch integration helped improve performance and support a faster, more scalable site experience.

 

To strengthen the digital ecosystem, XCentium integrated Algolia for fast and accurate site search. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics were configured to support performance tracking and user behavior insights. OneTrust was added to manage consent and privacy preferences for global regulations, including GDPR and CCPA.

 

Outcomes

 

West Monroe now has a more flexible digital platform that supports faster content updates and reduces developer dependency. The project moved from design approval to launch in 10 weeks.

Average web page build time decreased from 45 to 15 minutes, a 67% reduction. The site performance score increased from 34 to 95, alongside a 17.5% improvement in accessibility. CMS licensing and hosting costs also decreased by 44%, reducing the ongoing cost of operating the website.
