Case Study - GSMC Medical Center

Company:  Good Shepherd Medical Center

Good Shepherd Medical Center was in need of a modern, web-based intranet that would enhance team communication, provide employees and team members quick access to documents, and provide a stronger presence on the web.

The new Good Shepherd Medical Center intranet will empower employees to become an active voice and make suggestions that improve the organization and allow team members to easily manage content and documents throughout the organization.

GSMC Needs:

* Intranet Web Design
* Print Media - Maps

Key Creative Solution:

Key Creative recommended the development of a new intranet that was integrated with a professional, state-of-the-art, enterprise level content management system . The new web application provides the tools and infrastructure to not only fulfill Good Shepherd Medical Center's needs and vision today, but will grow and scale as needs change in the future. The new system accelerates information-sharing inside and outside the organization.

The GSMC web intranet features a multiple site manager. A multiple site manager empowers the GSMC team to create and manage multiple "websites" (sites) from a single user interface area. These sites can use existing domains, sub-domains, a brand new domain, or a combination of the above. Each site has its own set of preferences, templates, and channels. This lets GSMC leverage a single cms installation across multiple internet properties.

Benefits of a multiple site manager include:
• Member database is "installation wide"

• Shared member groups across multiple sites

• Member groups can have per site security preferences

• Data channels and templates can be accessed across sites

• Intuitively organized control panel

• Independent preferences per site

• Specialty templates per site (Login screens, member profiles, etc...)

The new Good Shepherd Medical Center intranet includes a way for employees and team members to quickly find relevant documents and information. In addition, the enterprise cms includes:
• Dynamic menu integration (drag and drop support for new pages)

• Secure member areas and audit logging functionality

• Multiple forums and directory listings.

• Staff and phone directory with search functionality

• Advanced content management system – Good Shepherd Medical Center can easily update site

• SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

• Photo and video gallery integration

• Multiple blog sections

• Products and services section

• Contact forms and surveys (DB support)

• News and events section

• Links and partners

• Company History, About Us...

• FAQ Sections

• Email marketing integration

• Google map integration

• XHTML / CSS compliant design

• Custom modules and more

The advanced content management system provides an easy way for team members to create new pages, news, text, videos, photos, marketing materials, and more without html or programming skills. 

From small productivity enhancements, to specialized custom development our team of dedicated programmers and graphic artists have the skills necessary to make the GSMC web project a success.
