Modern Intranet Platform for Credit Agricole Bank Polska

About the project

Delivering timely and reliable information to customers is crucial - but the same goes for employees! While organizations worldwide recognize that their client-facing websites and applications must be of high quality, very often the employee-facing part - their intranet - is overlooked.

 Credit Agricole Bank Polska recognized an opportunity to enhance their intranet, as their existing WordPress-based content management system (CMS) was no longer fully meeting their evolving needs. While functional, it faced challenges with performance, scalability, and an inefficient update process.

To address these challenges and remove bottlenecks, Credit Agricole Bank Polska chose to find an alternative solution and migrate to Flotiq Headless CMS. Given their strict data security policy, the Client’s Team chose to use a dedicated, on-premise instance of Flotiq. This case study explores the journey of this migration, detailing the challenges that the Client faced, the solutions we implemented, and the impressive results that we were able to achieve.
 At the time of the migration, a team at Credit Agricole Bank Polska was working on a solution that would seamlessly integrate their intranet data with other internal systems and applications. Thanks to the personalized API provided by Flotiq, the integration process was streamlined, allowing for efficient data retrieval and smooth connectivity with the client’s existing solutions. Since implementing Flotiq, Credit Agricole Bank Polska has increased user experience, streamlined content management processes, and enhanced online performance metrics. Read on to explore how a headless CMS can effectively support your company intranet.

The Solution

Credit Agricole Bank Polska chose to migrate to a dedicated solution that included Flotiq Headless CMS to allow for more flexibility, better performance, and ease of integration. To address the needs of CABP’s team, we created a tailor-made solution that would keep all the benefits of the previous CMS: like intuitive, easy use for content editors, and improve the metrics that didn’t meet the team’s requirements.

Since Flotiq was created, as is being developed, by a team of passionate software engineers from CodeWave (Flotiq’s parent company), our team can easily build products that go beyond the tool’s standard offering and address custom needs of enterprise clients. To make sure the new intranet is easy to use, responsive, and efficient, the team has developed a web application based on Next.js - a React framework that supports static page development and server-side rendering.framework. By offering features that let developers create scalable and effective apps, it improves React's capabilities. Flotiq was a great addition to this tech stack as an out-of-the-box solution to provide flexibility and editorial ease of use.

The transition to the new app involved migrating existing content and optimizing web performance. The efficiency of our Next.js-based web app combined with Flotiq’s efficient caching mechanism translated into substantially lowered loading times. It made it possible to manage and deliver content more efficiently, which led to a quick and consistent user experience across all platforms. With just a few clicks, Flotiq's automated updating procedure was a game-changer and improved overall operating efficiency.
