Project: Website, in-context content management system, maintenance & support

Client: Islands of the Bahamas

Technology: N-tiered, object oriented solution

The Islands of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism needed a fresh approach. The goal was to consolidate their many fragmented websites into a single site offering visitor information and travel planning capabilities. Integration with third party applications was required, and island officials needed the ability to update their own content.

The CMS allows content owners, including various island officials and local business owners, to access their own content and make changes. When the changes are complete, they are automatically moved to a staging environment for quality analysis and approval. The updates are then published to the live site without any required down time.

The www.bahamas.com site is integrated with a travel booking engine and includes live weather updates and video feeds. End users are able to create a login and build and save multiple itineraries while browsing the site. Using these stored profiles, the Bahamas is now able to track interest, report on trends and communicate more effectively.
