Discover Jersey Arts

Background

Discover Jersey Arts (DJA), a cosponsored project of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and ArtPride New Jersey Foundation, found itself unable to meet the growing demands of its growing constituent base with its aging content management system and limited internal human resources. As a result, they contracted with Accolade for a comprehensive needs analysis and strategic assessment.

Project Scope

  • Identified coding problems with the pre-existing content management system
  • Oversaw and mediated a resolution effort with the project’s web developers
  • Successfully negotiated a favorable contract dissolution in DJA’s favor
  • Led the vendor bidding process resulting in a placement with an award-winning Mid-Atlantic interactive agency
  • Evaluated and advised on the organization’s strategic marketing strategy as well as its IT infrastructure and budgetary requirements

Client Recommendation

“Accolade did a wonderful job helping us to identify problems with our content management system and leading our search process for a new web designer that could not only address our needs, but do it within our budget. They were detailed oriented, attentive and professional from start to finish. I’m confident we’ll find ourselves working with them again in the future.”
