PRE-MAGNOLIA ENVIRONMENT
• Content changes had to be formally scheduled• Content authors needed training to begin using the system • HTML templates had to be hand-created for every change• Authoring process was complex; small errors could
snowball into long delays
COMPLEXITY PREVENTING INNOVATION
"There was always that fear in the past that you couldn’t develop new content, because if you’re going to have some people from Tech, Quality and Systems sitting down for a few hours - the expectation was that it better be something that makes a lot of money, otherwise you’re wasting everyone's time! This meant there was always a stasis where nobody ever tried anything."
-- Alastair Douglas,
Head of Marketing & Analysis, Simply Business
