Launch of the First Optimizely CMS (SaaS) for CFM International
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Optimizely, a prominent digital experience platform, has partnered with Candyspace, a renowned digital product agency, to launch the first-ever implementation of its Content Management System (CMS) in the EMEA region for CFM International (CFM). CFM, a major player in the commercial aircraft engine market, has unveiled its newly redesigned website powered by Optimizely’s Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, solidifying its commitment to digital transformation in aerospace manufacturing.
The newly launched site signifies a shift towards modernized digital capabilities, overcoming challenges posed by outdated technology to create a platform that will facilitate CFM's growth and innovation. Optimizely’s CMS is tailored specifically to meet the needs of marketers, presenting tools that accelerate the content creation process while enhancing user experience.
Key Features and Benefits of the New CFM Website
The new CFM platform introduces several notable features designed to optimize both performance and user engagement:
- - Headless Architecture: With the backing of Optimizely's CMS and seamless front-end hosting through Vercel, the site promotes unparalleled speed and enables developers to craft state-of-the-art digital experiences.
- - User-Friendly Editing Tools: Unlike traditional CMS options, the Optimizely CMS offers an intuitive visual editing environment known as the Visual Builder. This allows CFM's marketing professionals to generate and publish content independently, bypassing the need for developer intervention. This feature promises to significantly reduce time to market for new content.
- - Scalability and Security: Optimizely Graph underpins swift omnichannel content delivery. Plus, with automatic scaling and built-in security updates, development teams can focus more on innovation rather than maintenance.
The revamped website serves more than 250,000 annual visitors with engaging content, real-time updates, and simplified features like event booking and news integration, enhancing overall user interaction.
