Why Was Griddo Born? The Evolution of CMS in Higher Education
What Are the Digital Challenges Universities Face Today?
In a constantly evolving digital environment, universities face increasingly complex challenges in managing and updating their websites. User experience has become a key factor in attracting new students, but many institutions remain limited by inflexible tools.
When a university cannot advance digitally, its institutional image, lead generation, and operational efficiency are severely affected. From Secuoyas, a digital innovation agency specializing in user experience, a clear need was detected: the education sector required a more robust, agile, and modern solution to face these challenges.
What Problems Did IE University Face with Its CMS?
IE University, recognized for its global and innovative approach, experienced the limitations of traditional CMS. Its website was built on WordPress, a widely used platform, but not designed for complex educational environments or for scaling over time.
The marketing and communications team, far from having an allied tool, found themselves with a system that prevented them from moving forward with the necessary speed.
What Impact Has Griddo Had So Far?
Since its implementation, Griddo has demonstrated concrete results that directly respond to sector needs.
