Case Study: Healthcare Symposium & Events Platform Modernization with Sitecore SXA

Healthcare Symposium & Events Platform Modernization with Sitecore SXA Overview
Murmu Software Infotech contributed to the redevelopment and modernization of a large-scale healthcare symposium & events platform using Sitecore SXA (Site Experience Accelerator).
The project involved migrating a legacy static .NET-based website into a modern, scalable, content-driven Sitecore SXA platform capable of handling:
- High-frequency content publishing
- Event & symposium management
- Meeting schedules & agendas
- Presentation/document publishing
- Media & video management
- Testimonials, talks, and event communications
The new platform was launched successfully within a rapid timeline before the upcoming healthcare symposium events.
Business Challenges
The existing static .NET website created major operational bottlenecks:
1. Heavy Developer Dependency
Every content update required developer involvement, including:
- Event schedule updates
- Meeting agenda publishing
- Presentation uploads
- Testimonials & announcements
This slowed down the content publishing workflow significantly.
2. High-Frequency Content Requirements
The organization needed:
- Frequent event updates
- Quick publishing of symposium materials
- Rapid content turnaround during live events
The legacy platform was not designed for dynamic publishing workflows.
3. Delayed Publishing Workflows
Marketing and content teams faced delays because:
- Developers had to manually update content
- Content publishing process was inefficient
- Real-time event communication was difficult
