Often, it’s forgotten that WordPress can be used on very busy, dynamic sites with lots of contributors. Although it has relatively humble blogging origins there’s no reason why it can’t be made to scale. If you’re running a media group, WordPress can be a fantastic solution for publishing a lot of content with minimal overheads, low training costs and quick implementations – especially if you’re using the interconnect/it toolset.

Please note – the video can take a while to get started.
