> Upon a recommendation from our agency, we chose to work with Usercentrics CMP.

— Ulrich Baldauf, Head of Digitalization and IT Innovation at AFAG

## Goals

### A CMP that is easy to administrate

AFAG wanted to find a [consent management platform (CMP)](https://usercentrics.com/website-consent-management/) that is easy to use and automated so implementation and maintenance wouldn’t require a lot of manual work. Operating over 20 websites, AFAG needed a CMP that could be implemented and get up and running across all their domains without much hassle.

### A CMP that can deliver comprehensive analysis options

It was crucial for AFAG to find a CMP that could deliver not only compliance but also [data-driven insights](https://usercentrics.com/analytic-insights/) into their domains and performance.

### A CMP that provides legally secure texts

Another important point for the team at AFAG was to find a CMP that could provide legally sound and secure texts for the various data processing services in use on their 20+ websites.

### A CMP that is highly customizable

It was imperative for the team to get a solution that was highly customizable and could be configured and tailored specifically for each of their websites.

### Ease of use

“*Upon a recommendation from our agency, we chose to work with Usercentrics CMP. The collaboration with the Usercentrics team was excellent at all times – we had a permanent contact person who understood our needs and requirements to the point. Once up and running, the CMP was very easy to administer.*”

### More than compliance

“*We were happy to experience benefits like getting comprehensive analysis options and data insights, besides solid data privacy compliance.*”

### Easy and great customizations

“*The onboarding took three weeks, and once we were familiar with the admin center, we could easily customize the banner to our specific needs. The customization itself was very quick and easy.*”

### Most important thing is trust

“*The most important thing is trust in our websites and brands. This is only possible with a CMP. We’re happy to be working with Usercentrics consent management platform. We hope to see many more innovations and easy administration of the CMP in the future.*”
