Chicago Public Radio

Chicago Public Radio, otherwise known as WBEZ, contracted APS in February 2007 to help with their custom content managment application, search engine needs, and project management.

Chicago Public Radio contracted out to Abbott Professional Services in 2007 and sustained a two year relationship that resulted in great improvements to the company’s web presence. APS was instrumental in customizing our Content Management System used in bringing on-air content to the web and providing a rich archive of stories from around Chicagoland to our growing listener base. More importantly, the customizations to our CMS made it easier for internal staff to publish their rich media content. APS made improvements to our online Pledge system that have resulted in a tipping point where more than half of all member donations now come through our web portal driving the down the cost of our on-air campaigns. APS also worked diligently on search engine optimization that have improved the visibility of Chicago Public Radio on the web resulting in a significant increase in daily web traffic. Beyond optimization work, they played a critical role in helping the organization migrate to a new CDN provider for streaming audio services ensuing in long term savings for the company while positioning us to meet our listener’s needs as they ingest more content via smartphones and internet enabled radios. APS developers and project managers showed strong communication skills and their ability to document their processes have been helpful in sustaining our growth trajectory.

Sound Opinions

Sound Opinions brought APS on board this year to help give some direction to thier web presence. Currently APS provides web site support and is customizing their web portal utilizing open source technologies.

After years of web support difficulty, I discovered APS and they quickly helped us budget our web resources efficiently. They came up with a maintenance package and CMS solution that worked for us. Their experience has brought confidence to our web development decisions going forward and helped us position our radio show to expand in the new media landscape.

One Design Company

APS has a longstanding relationship with ODC providing strategic consulting and project management.

Working with Bryan and his team is really one of the better decisions we've made. APS brings foresight... Their experience working on a wide variety of projects and clients allows them to recognize issues and problems, before they actually become issues and problems - on important projects that's the most important piece of the pie. I highly recommend APS."
