Orrick, a global law firm, needed to update its internal portal site to create a more efficient way to deliver content to employees. With that in mind, Orrick partnered with Perficient Digital on a new content management system that would allow the firm to create more value for attorneys and employees through an integrated, personalized experience. The resulting portal site has been recognized by the 2019 WebAwards for Portal Standard of Excellence.

The portal was created on the Sitecore platform and focused on role-based personalization to create “personas” that would deliver appropriate content to the employee logged on, whether it be secretary, associate, partner, or staff. This, along with advanced content management, created easier access to client and matter pages. The advanced features of the intranet led to the team being recognized for outstanding achievement in web development.

“We have had amazing feedback and adoption from attorneys and staff because we focused on the user experience,” explains Scott Mortenson, Orrick’s intranet owner. “We concentrated our efforts on personalization, usability, and search. The extra effort to find out what users are looking for most often and delivering that information clearly has paid off.”
