Project Goals

Integra LifeSciences partnered with BizStream to modernize its primary corporate website into a platform capable of supporting global visibility, ongoing content stewardship, and long-term stakeholder trust. The engagement centered on strengthening the site’s underlying foundation, ensuring the organization could operate with confidence, maintain consistency across internal and external audiences, and build toward future growth without the friction and uncertainty that had defined previous platform experiences.

Results

Integra launched a modernized, stable website on time and without service interruption, despite a compressed timeline that left little margin for error. The new platform gave content administrators a dramatically more intuitive authoring experience, reduced the operational burden on internal teams, and positioned the site to support future expansion, including multilingual content and additional regional sites.

Challenges

Integra came to BizStream under pressure. The situation required fast, disciplined decision-making across every phase of the project.

An Immovable Deadline
  • Integra's existing platform was being shut down by a third-party provider with no flexibility on timing. The site had to launch before the cutoff, days before end of year, or risk going completely dark. The urgency defined every aspect of how the project had to be approached.
A History of Platform Disruption
  • This wasn't Integra's first migration. Just a year earlier, the organization had moved onto a new CMS as part of a broader redesign effort, only to find themselves replatforming again almost immediately. The priority was finding a long-term solution, not just a short-term fix.
A CMS That Worked Against the Team
  • The outgoing platform created significant friction for Integra's content administrators. Day-to-day management was cumbersome, limiting the team's ability to maintain and update the site effectively. Improving the content authoring experience was a clear priority alongside the platform transition itself.
An Outdated Careers Experience
  • Separate from the main site, Integra maintained a standalone careers site that had grown outdated and was an additional property to manage and host independently. A design refresh and consolidation into the main site were both overdue.

Solutions

BizStream’s approach prioritized speed without sacrificing structure. The project moved quickly because the team had the tools and experience to execute efficiently, not by cutting corners.

An Accelerated Path to Launch
  • BizStream's Web Accelerator for Kentico provided a pre-built framework that significantly reduced the time and cost required to get the site live. Rather than building from scratch, the team was able to configure and adapt proven components, allowing the project to hit its deadline while maintaining a standard of quality that held up post-launch.
A Platform Built to Last
  • Integra moved to Xperience by Kentico on a SaaS architecture, eliminating the infrastructure overhead that had complicated previous platform decisions and giving the organization a foundation with a clear, supported roadmap. Multilingual architecture was built in from the start, positioning the site to support international and global expansion without requiring a future rebuild.
Content Administration That Actually Works
  • The Kentico Page Builder gave Integra's content team a significantly more intuitive editing environment. Authoring, updating, and managing pages became straightforward tasks, a direct improvement over the limitations of the previous system.
White-Glove Content Migration
  • An export of the existing site's content was available, but after reviewing it, manual migration was the more practical path. The data was messy and the volume was manageable enough that building an automated migration wouldn't have been worth the effort. BizStream worked through the content systematically to ensure a clean transition.
AI-Assisted Efficiency
  • BizStream used AI tooling to accelerate both development and content migration tasks, helping the team move faster on a compressed timeline without adding headcount or extending the schedule.
Workday and Microsoft Entra Integration
  • BizStream integrated Workday to power Integra's careers search experience, including filtering, searching, and location-based ordering for job listings. With the careers site now consolidated into the main corporate site, Integra no longer manages a separate web property. And because both are built on the same platform, design consistency comes standard. The team can also use the same Page Builder widgets across careers content, extending the value of what was built during the initial migration. Microsoft Entra was implemented for single sign-on, giving internal administrators a secure and seamless way to access the platform.

A Partnership Built for Impact

Integra came to BizStream after a previous partner relationship had ended unexpectedly, leaving the project in a difficult position with little time to recover. BizStream stepped in quickly, adapted its standard process to fit the constraints, and delivered a launch that met the deadline without compromising the work.

What made that possible was a combination of platform expertise, a proven delivery framework, and a team willing to move flexibly without losing discipline. BizStream’s experience with Kentico, and specifically with enterprise clients navigating platform transitions, meant the team could make fast, confident decisions throughout the project.

The relationship continues into active development. BizStream is currently supporting Integra’s careers experience, with additional conversations underway about future site expansion. What started as an urgent migration is becoming a longer-term partnership.
