Developing a Multi-Domain Website Ecosystem for Seamless Partner Management and Centralized Brand Governance

REQUIREMENT

Building a Unified Multi-Domain Digital Ecosystem for Manipal BFSI and Its Partners

Manipal BFSI required a comprehensive digital ecosystem that could serve as a unified yet flexible online presence for its core brand and multiple partner institutions. The requirements included:

• Centralized Main Website: Develop a central portal showcasing Manipal BFSI’s mission, courses, and partnerships.
• Dedicated Sub-Sites for Each Partner: Design and implement separate, secure web instances for each corporate partner, customized with their brand identity and training programs.
• Consistent Branding & UI/UX: Maintain a unified Manipal BFSI look and feel while allowing individual brand customization for partner portals.
• Scalable Architecture: Enable easy addition of new partners and training modules without reworking the existing structure.
• CMS-Based Content Management: Empower internal teams to independently manage content, partner portals, and program details.
• Mobile Responsiveness & Accessibility: Ensure seamless user experience across all devices.

CHALLENGE

Addressing Multi-Tenant Architecture, Branding, and Scalability Challenges in a Unified Web Ecosystem

The project’s complexity stemmed from the need to manage multiple institutional portals with distinct branding and functionality, under one unified framework. Key challenges included:

• Partner-Specific Customization: Each partner organization (e.g., Axis Bank, HDFC Life, SBI General, Kotak Mahindra, etc.) required custom layouts, branding elements, and content.
• Security & Data Isolation: Ensuring data privacy and access control for each institution’s portal while maintaining centralized administration.
• Content Consistency: Maintaining consistency in UI/UX and messaging across more than a dozen subdomains.
• Scalability: Designing the system to easily accommodate future expansions and new partnerships.
