Overhauling Conga's  digital experience on a Drupal site after an acquisition

Conga, a B2B SaaS company specializing in Intelligent Revenue Lifecycle Management software, faced the challenge of integrating with Apttus post-merger. This integration involved unifying their technology stacks, content, and user experiences. Elevated Third led a comprehensive digital overhaul, focusing on aligning go-to-market strategies, revamping information architecture, and implementing a new visual design system. The project resulted in significant improvements, including a 163% increase in overall site conversion rates and a 190% rise in content asset downloads.

Requirements

  • Merge two extensive product catalogs into a single, coherent structure.

  • Create new content for product pages, incorporating stylized user interfaces to effectively convey key messages.

  • Repurpose existing content into component-based layouts, ensuring consistency across the site.

  • Implement a flexible information architecture using a matrix pattern to facilitate intuitive navigation.

  • Develop a versatile visual design system that embodies the refreshed brand standards.

Forging a new go-to-market strategy that brings brands together

A critical aspect of any merger is aligning on a new go-to-market strategy. Conga’s product availability, branding, and positioning were all in flux as we began, but based on past B2B experience, we developed different architecture scenarios based on stakeholder discussions. This helped Conga align during internal conversations on what might work, and pave the way for a better customer experience.

Merging two catalogs of content came next. All-new product pages demanded new content created from the ground up. While some existing content was accurate, the implementation of stylized UIs illustrated key points and told more compelling stories.

Additionally, secondary content was repurposed in component-based layouts, while resources and blogs were re-tagged and migrated to align with new content hierarchies.

Revamping information architecture & visual design to show a new brand in action

Meanwhile, we leveraged refreshed brand standards into an all-new visual design system to make a mark and show the world an all-new Conga.

We ran tree tests to understand how the current Information Architecture (IA) performed, which led to the adoption of a matrix pattern—no strict hierarchies or nesting were used, rather relationships and referencing in context to tell a story.

Versatile components allowed us to build solution detail pages, each with its own unique feel and layout. The balance of consistency with flexibility helped put the new brand standards into action.

Outcome

Not only did we deliver an improved digital experience, but also a unification of two brands. After the site launch, we saw the number of content asset downloads nearly double, and the rate at which site visitors converted rose by 163%. Using information architecture as a wedge to help align and engage stakeholders at a high level—while leveraging our deep B2B web development expertise—helped make this merger smoother and set Conga on a new path towards growth.

Why Drupal was chosen

In the wake of Conga's merger with Apttus, unifying their digital experiences required a robust and flexible platform. Drupal was selected for its ability to handle complex content structures and facilitate seamless integration, essential for merging two extensive product catalogs and aligning diverse branding elements. Its versatility supported the creation of a cohesive user experience, accommodating the evolving needs of the combined entity.
