The most efficiently run businesses have tech stacks with systems that are seamlessly integrated into one another and meet all of your needs; however, as a digital lead, you know that鈥檚 not always easy to accomplish.

A recent use case
In a recent project, a potential customer had content creators that needed to localize content for the geographic area in which they operated. They needed to meet specific content needs in a quicker and more tailored manner. Together with Brightspot, this potential customer decided that the best way to do this was by using a Content Card content type.
At that time, the Content Card did not exist in Brightspot as a content type鈥攂ut that wasn鈥檛 an issue because due to Brightspot's extensible architecture and data modeling flexibility, that content type was rapidly created so the potential customer could deliver channel-agnostic messages, charts, graphs, and more.
Not only that, but Brightspot enabled the client to create Content Cards not only directly within Brightspot, but also through document upload via Word document import or through Veeva or AEM integrations, giving the potential customer's teams more flexibility to work with existing systems and not forcing them to replace infrastructure in order to enjoy the solution.
The Content Card content type was to store primary and alternative product data fields like teasers, copy, charts and other kinds of data that Brightspot engineered to follow unique workflows to obtain copy approvals from different content process collaborators.
Since the potential customer's audience was located around the world, Brightspot enabled the client to initiate translations directly from within the Content Card using Brightspot鈥檚 multiple translation integrations.
Because Brightspot worked hard to understand the potential customer's pain points, Brightspot was able to build a proof of concept in just a matter of days. At no point did the potential customer need to completely re-platform onto Brightspot. They didn鈥檛 have digital asset management issues or a need for OTT, so that鈥檚 not what the conversations were about. Instead, they had the specific needs above, and because Brightspot can extend their tech stack effortlessly, it could neatly become the missing puzzle piece.
