Challenge

Reaching students worldwide

Nexford University was looking for a functioning responsive Sitecore solution, including content and custom components, within a very tight timeline.

Solution

Accelerated learning

Nexford University was launched on Flex Accelerator for Sitecore, an XCentium SaaS solution developed in partnership with Sitecore. By launching Nexford on Flex Accelerator, XCentium was able to deliver an enterprise-grade, Sitecore 9.0 site within five weeks from the initial design hand off. This impressive timeline is a fraction of customary Sitecore implementation industry averages.

Outcome

Expanding Nexford University's vision

Nexford University was a university without a website. With enrollment applications being submitted every week, it became increasingly urgent for Nexford to have a marketing website. Not only was it important for Nexford to have a site to provide course and university information, it was equally important to establish legitimacy within the online academic community.

XCentium was able to adapt Nexford’s unique design with requested customizations on Flex Accelerator for Sitecore. In order to complete Nexford’s mission of becoming the largest and most affordable American university in the world, highly customized forms including course recommendations and calculators were needed to help students find the necessary information and enroll online.
