Communications Architecture

Increasing revenue, reducing costs, brand awareness, and capturing and retaining strong customer relationships are some of the fundamental reasons for being on the Internet. The Donaldson Group will leverage the Internet and deliver measurable business results for your company.

Building a strategy to measure success ensures the needs of your stakeholders and target audiences are met. Business and functional documentation, along with an appropriate marketing strategy, are the foundation for your website.

Components of a successful communications architecture are:

Content Management

Every digital experience is a touch point; and each contact strengthens the customer, investor, employee, and partner relationship with your company.

The Donaldson Group uses the power of content management, effective design and implementation strategies to provide your organization with the tools to build an Internet presence. Content management is accomplished with our proprietary BluElvis™ content management suite.

BluElvis is an affordable, easy to use, and powerful content management system that allows you to concentrate on communicating with your customers, not on the process and cost of making changes. BluElvis removes the expense and slowdown of traditional HTML production. Gone is the process of preparing website changes, handing them off to an outside agency and waiting.

With BluElvis, your organization will deploy Internet, intranet, extranet, and ecommerce websites with one tool. Distributed publishing allows sales and marketing, human resources, investor relations, and public relations to make content changes to your websites(s) with ease. Your organization will gain increased productivity, realize ROI, customer loyalty, and reduced costs.
