Candyspace Launches Groundbreaking SaaS Website for CFM International
LONDON and NEW YORK – Leading digital product agency and Optimizely Gold partner, Candyspace, has unveiled the new CFM International website, marking a significant milestone in the aerospace sector. This launch of the website signifies the first commercial implementation of Optimizely's SaaS-based, headless Content Management System (CMS) within the EMEA region.
Optimizely's Innovative SaaS CMS
CFM International, recognized as one of the largest commercial aircraft engine manufacturers globally, has teamed up with Candyspace to redesign and launch its website using the advanced capabilities of Optimizely's latest SaaS CMS. The collaboration highlights how innovation can shape digital transformation within the aerospace manufacturing sector.
Why CFM Chose Optimizely
With a legacy of producing exceptional engines, CFM International understood the importance of enhancing their digital footprint. Candyspace was chosen as the ideal partner to lead this initiative due to its vast expertise in headless and microservice technologies. As a Gold Optimizely Partner, Candyspace was well-positioned to transition CFM's website to a modern, efficient platform that enhances customer engagement and operational performance.
Advantages of the New Platform
CFM’s decision to utilize the Optimizely SaaS platform stems from its robust architecture and advanced functionalities. Here is a closer look at what makes this system a top choice:
- Flexible, Future-Ready Architecture
Optimizely’s headless CMS allows backend content management to function separately from the user interface. By collaborating with Vercel for superior front-end hosting, the newly redesigned CFM site now boasts exceptional performance and allows developers the flexibility to create stunning user experiences. - User-Friendly Content Editing
Unlike traditional headless CMS solutions, Optimizely offers an intuitive content editor experience tailored for marketers. With the Optimizely Visual Builder and interactive live previews, CFM's marketing team can create engaging content independently, significantly improving their efficiency and speed in going to market. - Enterprise Scalability and Security
Designed for robust business needs, the Optimizely SaaS CMS provides seamless omnichannel content delivery. Automatic updates improve security and minimize maintenance challenges, allowing developers to focus on enhancing user experience.
Digital Transformation Model
The new website, cfmaeroengines.com, showcases interactive features, real-time updates, and data-driven storytelling. It is engineered to accommodate over 250,000 visitors annually, providing a responsive user experience and seamless integration of news and events across devices, making it a prime example of digital transformation.
Candyspace’s Role in the Transformation
As a Gold Optimizely Partner, Candyspace brought unmatched experience to this project. They functioned as both strategic and technical leads, ensuring the successful launch of the website. Tom Thorne, the CEO of Candyspace, expressed pride in achieving this milestone, stating, “This launch marks a major advancement for digital marketing in Europe.”
