Technical Debt

TAC hired Simple Media to consolidate their many website properties belonging to all their brands, including TAC Energy, TAC Air, Keystone Aviation, and TAC Investments. In addition, as TAC moves to acquire new companies, Simple Media is involved in the creation of micro-sites and content.

Challenges

Disjointed sub-brands' websites
Very slow page load speed
Security issues
Static content modeling (unable to make edits)

Solutions

Simple Media devised a website strategy that included the following:

Architected and prototyped a website that would help consolidate all TAC's sub-brands, while keeping them independent of each other
Page load optimized
Built a content model that would satisfy each department
API social media stream (multiple companies, multiple channels)
API integration to Box.net for image galleries

"Simple delivered a complex project with many moving parts on time and budget. The website meets the needs of all our departments."

— Tad Perryman - VP of Marketing
