Full-Stack Observability helps engineers plan, build, deploy, and run great software. Only New Relic has a unified data platform for all telemetry data—metrics, events, logs and traces—paired with analysis tools to find solutions fast. Move past the ‘what’ to uncover the ‘why’.

New Relic partnered with Fynydd to create a sales training platform. New Relic needed to train new sales personnel using the latest product information and real-world scenarios to ensure customers were given the best fit recommendations.

They had already approved a WordPress multi-tenant environment for these kinds of use cases so that's the content management system we used. Given the security track record of WordPress we normally don't recommend using it. Since the New Relic IT department was hosting at WPEngine and securing the platform, our concerns were not as serious as they would have been had the platform been on the public Internet.

With regard to security, we also had to integrate with their corporate Okta single sign-on (SSO) platform to restrict the LMS to authorized users in the sales department.

Some of the project highlights include:

• WordPress Multisite, hosted at WP Engine
• Responsive HTML5/CSS3 framework
• Okta/SAML 2.0 SSO integration
• Shared content and media
• Multiple author workflows
• Embedded media
