The Tech at Mintel series shines a spotlight on our global IT department and how some of the industry’s best and brightest build Mintel’s modern, agile, and scalable technology backbone.

The COVID-19 pandemic created a whole new set of concerns for businesses, who turned to Mintel for answers. We were able to provide COVID-19-related insights to our clients right away, in large part because our content management system was designed in such a way that we could add whole new content types in hours instead of days or weeks. 

In this presentation, we cover where Mintel started with regard to our content management system and the journey to where we are now, including how we overcame challenges as a globally distributed team and what this enabled us to do during the pandemic when everyone went remote. Watch below!
