The award-winning CMS, Contensis, created by Zengenti, currently powers over 20 higher education institutions’ online platforms and has now been chosen as the replacement CMS to power Heriot-Watt’s website.

The project will see the website undergo a major refurbishment, replacing its previous system with a cloud-hosted API-first CMS, in an effort to enhance its online experience for its pupils and create a more flexible, user-friendly platform.

We’re excited to be working with Zengenti as our partner for this major transformation project. Their market understanding, wide-ranging expertise and track-record of delivery will be pivotal in allowing us to rethink our global digital presence.
