Children's Hospital Association relies on Sitecore to provide tailored experience to diverse audiences

While they make up just 5% of hospitals nationwide, children's hospitals set the standards for the highest quality pediatric care and training. The Children's Hospital Association (CHA) serves as their national voice and leverages the influence of its 200+ member hospitals to benefit everyone from physicians and researchers to parents and lawmakers—and ultimately, of course, kids.

Following the merger of two organizations with different legacy web platforms and managing multiple mailing lists, forums, and email tools, CHA turned to EPAM, a leading provider of software product development services, to create a digital strategy that involved building a website and streamlining its email management systems, which included Lyris, MagnetMail, and Constant Contact

EPAM and CHA chose Sitecore Experience Platform (XP), with Sitecore Experience Database (xDB) and Sitecore Email Experience Manager (EXM) to create a unified web experience that serves up personalized content to meet the unique needs of diverse audiences.
