The Client
Leading awarding body Edexcel provides testing and qualifications for academic and vocational courses sat by millions of students across the UK and the world each year.
Edexcel's name is derived from the words "educational" and "excellence" and is owned by the publishing conglomerate Pearson Plc.
The Challenge
Rejuvenate, maintain and evolve one of the world's largest public facing Sharepoint solutions through the use of solid user interface techniques, latest technologies and search.
Increase visitor retention by providing them with an effective user interface to enable them to find relevant information.
What We Did
CSP has been lucky enough to work with Edexcel in a full service capacity for the last four years – during which time we’ve been developing and enhancing their public-facing website.
Sharepoint includes many features which make it a perfect host for this site, such as document management: over 60,000 searchable documents on one website – from past papers to timetables and vacancies
The Outcome
The Edexcel website serves a massive 2.5 million users on peak days and continues to stay rock solid - year in, year out.
Supporting one of the biggest Sharepoint server farms, CSP has been integral in the design, development and architecture of the Sharepoint platform.
Now we continually work with Edexcel, aligning ourselves to their digital strategy, so that we can deliver key advantages for their online offerings.
