Digital Challenges With an Unsupported Sitecore Version

Confronted with significant digital challenges, BLG sought Fishtank's expertise to navigate their way through an outdated and soon-to-be unsupported version of Sitecore. The firm was grappling with high infrastructure costs and poor website performance, which not only affected their operational efficiency but also threatened the quality of service provided to their clients.

The goal was to streamline their digital infrastructure in a cost-effective manner while enhancing their site's performance, ensuring BLG's digital presence could continue to support their position as a leader in the legal industry without interruption.
