New client ARM launch exciting Intranet

It’s always good to work with successful businesses and they don’t come much stronger than ARM; or, to give them their full title, Advanced Resource Managers. Headquartered in Havant, Hampshire, this Technical Recruitment business has grown strongly and consistently from formation in 1996 to their current turnover approaching £120M. 

This remarkable achievement has taken them from a one-person operation to a  workforce of 200 who together embody the company’s ethos of rigorous professionalism and customer service. ARM are active in both permanent and contract placements across IT, Engineering and Business, as well as providing Recruitment Process Outsourcing, Training and Consultancy services.

" Our first major project that required the Contensis CMS was to create a comprehensive web-based intranet and information retrieval system that we call ARM World. It needed to be attractive, easy for people across the business to use and above all to possess very powerful search functionality. The resulting product is excellent, user friendly, looks great and was well received by everyone here at ARM. 

For all of the success of the Contensis system, I’m as impressed with what I’m hearing across the desk from our web developer – regular and positive conversations with the Contensis support team. After years of managing a long list of suppliers, quality of service is absolutely as important to me as quality of product, and Contensis seems to be excelling at both. "

Operating online came naturally to the recruitment sector, and ARM are no exception, with a strong web presence and a .NET web development team of their own. Having previously used Immediacy, they were keen to adopt a CMS tool which provided advanced features and could clearly support the future growth of the business.

" We required a scalable CMS solution which could support the increasing demands of the business and would provide a platform for future developments. Before selecting Contensis, we looked at competing CMS solutions; none of which could match Contensis in terms of functionality, cost and support. 

For me, it was also imperative we found a supplier with whom we could form a strong working relationship. Six months on, we have exactly that; the support we've received thus far has been a breath of fresh air. The software is proving to be powerful base for our intranet and websites and I'm confident we made the correct decision in our selection. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Contensis, particularly if considering migrating from another CMS. "

ARM have now started work on their public facing websites, which we expect to be launched over the coming months!
