Our project resulted in IT resources being freed up at GE Power. They reduced the cost of hiring other agencies to make content changes, and improved security. After the site’s rollout, JAKALA took over all site maintenance, leading GE Power to only need the services of one IT company for all their website development needs.

Context & Challenges
GE Power had been restructured and separated into three businesses, and they needed a new online presence. GE Power’s five segments required their own branded websites, but developing and maintaining six different websites (five segments and the general GE site) along with several other country-specific sites was expensive and inefficient. They needed easy code replication across sites, decreased hosting costs, and multi-site functionality.
Our approach and solution
JAKALA installed calls to action to better organize the content of the pages and create a clear visual path for the eye. To ensure our work would last, we provided long-term maintenance of their websites, creative direction, migration management, and ongoing Drupal CMS education for GE Power’s staff.
