Implementation of Pimcore-based CMS for Phinance
Date: 2024
Effects
- The implementation of the CMS on the Pimcore platform has brought numerous benefits to phinance.co.uk, affecting the efficiency and quality of content management.
- Easier content management for editors.
- Reduced time to publish changes.
- Increased flexibility and integration with other systems.
Challenge
- Phinance.co.uk, a leading financial portal, has experienced a significant increase in content and functionality on its website.
- Prior to the implementation of a CMS (Content Management System) on the Pimcore platform, the portal relied on a static approach to content management.
- Every change, update or addition of new content required the intervention of developers, resulting in long wait times for even minor modifications.
- This limited flexibility slowed down the development of the portal and made it difficult to keep the content consistent and up-to-date.
Solution
- In order to improve content management and increase flexibility, phinance.co.uk decided to implement a CMS based on the Pimcore platform.
- Pimcore is a comprehensive open-source tool that offers advanced content management, PIM (Product Information Management) and DAM (Digital Asset Management) capabilities.
- The choice of Pimcore was dictated by its ability to integrate, adaptability and scalability.
- The implementation began with a needs analysis of phinance.co.uk and its content management processes.
- Content was migrated from the legacy platform to Pimcore using data export and import tools.
- Following the migration, the project team began creating flexible and responsive website templates for phinance.co.uk using the Pimcore interface.
