App Discovery Session

Mutual of Omaha

Mutual of Omaha Mortgage came to Scandia with the need for a more agile, scalable, and future-ready digital platform. From the outset, our Website Strategy team partnered with key stakeholders to assess pain points across their existing ecosystem—including challenges around content governance, brand consistency across franchisee pages, and marketing agility. We began by facilitating strategic planning workshops to map out technical and business goals, followed by a deep content audit and analytics review. These insights laid the foundation for an experience strategy focused on flexibility, editor empowerment, and a dramatically improved publishing workflow.

As part of the strategic engagement, we translated business requirements into a modular component system that allowed marketing and operations teams to quickly spin up new landing pages and campaigns without developer intervention. By consolidating their content structure and migrating to Umbraco, we aligned Mutual of Omaha Mortgage’s digital strategy with their business growth goals—enabling a consistent user experience across branches while empowering local teams to personalize content within defined brand boundaries. The end result was a strategic digital transformation that married technical excellence with marketing efficiency.

Our discovery and alignment phase is where the real magic happens. We don’t just send you a questionnaire and call it a strategy—we embed ourselves with your team, run live workshops, and dig deep into how your business operates, how your customers behave, and what your digital goals really are. It’s hands-on, collaborative, and built around asking the right questions.

We guide your stakeholders through the process, ensuring that marketing, product, IT, and leadership are aligned around a shared vision. These early conversations set the tone for the entire project. We surface assumptions, uncover constraints, and align priorities so there’s no guesswork when it’s time to build.

The result? A well-defined scope, clear success metrics, and a project that’s grounded in reality—not just slides. We help you make decisions faster, reduce risk, and build digital platforms that support your goals for the long haul.
