</ul></wysiwyg></about><challenge><title>Challenge</title><wysiwyg><p>In the summer of 2004, SecureWorks decided their existing website management tool was not working out. It was too difficult for the business users to write HTML by hand, page titles were not able to be updated resulting in decreased search engine traffic, and the learning curve was tremendous. There had to be a better solution.</p></wysiwyg></challenge><solution><title>Solution</title><wysiwyg><p>SecureWorks consulted Spunlogic (spunlogic.com), their interactive agency, for a CMS recommendation. Spunlogic went out into the market and evaluated several CMS solutions.</p>
<p>There were several key factors that were required by SecureWorks for their CMS:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Low business-user learning curve</li>
<li>Ability to manage numerous resource types including: 
<ul type="circle">
<li>Online web casts (seminars) for potential and existing clients</li>
<li>Press releases and news mentions</li>
<li>Monthly newsletters</li>
<li>Marketing information</li>
<li>Technical information</li>
</ul>
</li>
