www.GM.com is alive!

GM team:  Great work to overcome hurdles and adversity and hit the date!  The site is beautiful and definitely sets the bar for the world on what new corporate sites will need to look like to keep pace.

Esteemed colleagues,

After 7 months of collaboration with MRM, the new GM.com site finally went live early in the morning on 5/10!  Many people on the project team worked evenings and weekends for the past few months to keep on schedule and make this project a success.  First off, kudos to the core project team for all of their dedication and hard work, and others who also helped to get us past the finish line.

This was a big win for Crown.  With GM.com being the corporate website representing the “reborn” GM, which has had a ton of visibility in the media, this was a very high-profile project for GM and therefore also for MRM as they strive to be the digital solution provider of choice for GM.  Crown has had past success partnering with MRM, and is currently engaged with them on other projects.  The GM.com project has been our largest Adobe CQ implementation project to date with MRM, and also Crown’s largest single CQ implementation project to date.  The redesigned GM.com website was implemented using CQ 5.2, and shares some of the foundation laid by the GMDS project.  The skills and perseverance demonstrated while facing many technical and political challenges along the way positions Crown to become an even more strategic partner of Adobe and MRM down the road as additional opportunities arise.

Thanks again to everyone who played a role in making this project a success!
