Agility CMS is a headless CMS, providing cloud-based
content APIs, workflow, and layout management as a service. They’re known for
their developer-friendliness and easy-to-use CMS for both developers and
marketers.
In the competitive landscape of content management, providing a robust
collaborative workflow has become essential. These days users expect to work
together in-app, and Agility CMS needed a solution to seamlessly integrate these
features without diverting focus from their core product.
Agility CMS turned to Liveblocks to power their collaborative features. By
leveraging Liveblocks, they were able to quickly implement comments and
notifications within their platform.
“Liveblocks took us from 0-100 really fast. Instead of having to micromanage all the implementation details of the collaborative functionality, we could focus more on how we wanted that to work for our customers.”Joel VartyCTO at Agility CMS
Because Agility CMS uses React as part of their technology stack, this allowed
them to embed Liveblocks Comments with minimal effort, and after
Liveblocks Notifications was released, it made perfect sense
to implement this too, as the two products work in tandem to provide a complete
collaborative experience.
Ease of integration was not the only standout feature the team valued—Liveblocks
also eliminates the need to scale and maintain a complex real-time
infrastructure, saving them from a time-consuming and distracting task.
“Collaboration as a service is really powerful. If we had to build and host all of that ourselves, it would be very painful and distracting from our true purpose, which is to give our customers a voice.”Joel VartyCTO at Agility CMS
Implementing Liveblocks resulted in Agility CMS improving user engagement and
retention. The CMS’s enhanced collaborative capabilities attracted new customers
and expanded usage among existing clients, solidifying Agility CMS’s position as
a market leader.
“Liveblocks has helped us continue to lead the market and the expand out our current customer base. Our new collaborative benefits help to both bring on new customers, but also to expand current accounts to more users.”Joel VartyCTO at Agility CMS
