Xperience by Kentico is a SaaS-based digital experience platform built for organisations that need a serious content management foundation with real workflow governance, structured content, and multi-channel capability. It's a common choice for local government because it handles the operational complexity councils actually face: role-based publishing, editorial workflows, structured municipal data, and integration into existing systems.

For the City of Mandurah, Xperience by Kentico gave the organisation a platform that could carry TechOne and IntraMaps integrations, Azure AI Search, and a four-role governance model, all inside one enterprise-grade CMS with the headroom to scale into microsites and campaign channels.

Azure Active Directory integration lets an organisation map the roles it already uses internally (Administrator, Editor, Publisher, etc.) directly into the platform's permission model. Staff sign in with the same credentials they use for everything else, and the platform enforces what they can and can't do based on their role, not on individual account settings.

For Mandurah, Dapth mapped four configured roles from Azure AD into Xperience by Kentico: Administrator, COMAdministrator, ContentEditor, and ContentPublisher. Each step of the Content Publishing Workflow is scoped to specific roles, so the system enforces who can move content forward at every stage without relying on manual checks.

Structured content means information is stored once and referenced across many surfaces, rather than being duplicated on individual pages. When a council updates the details of a community facility, event, or council member, the change flows everywhere that information appears, automatically.

For the City of Mandurah, Dapth configured nine page content types (including ArticlePage, EventPage, PlacePage, and CouncilMemberPage) and set up the Content Hub as the single source of truth. Reusable content items now feed into every page that references them. Citizens get accurate, up-to-date information. Editorial teams stop maintaining duplicates. The content management system does the work.

A workflow governance model defines who can create, edit, approve, and publish content, and what happens at each step. It replaces informal email approvals with an enforced process that lives inside the platform itself.

For Mandurah, the Content Publishing Workflow is scoped against four configured roles from Azure Active Directory. Editors draft content. Reviewers approve. Publishers push to live. Notification rules route alerts at every transition, and version history gives every page a traceable, revertable timeline. Governance is built into the day, not layered on afterwards.

Yes. The single-channel architecture Dapth built for the City of Mandurah is ready to extend into microsites and campaign channels without rebuilding the underlying environment. New channels inherit the same governance, integrations, and content operations.
