The challenge

Outdated banking portal

At the time of this project, the client was struggling with an outdated and insecure CMS. Being able to trust its banking portal with sensitive customer data was vital, but existing security measures were falling behind. The company also needed to improve the performance and security of the deposit account sign-up experience. The pre-existing set-up was:

 

  • not easily testable
  • expensive to maintain
  • not reusable or flexible

 

It was clear to our client that rebuilding the intranet was crucial for the company’s ongoing competitiveness.

The solution

Complete portal overhaul

To help our client reach its business goals, we decided to rebuild the front- and back-end of the portal in Umbraco.

 

Our developers also introduced an upgraded “Quick Quote” feature. This service automatically suggested different loan terms for people who wouldn’t normally be eligible for a loan. The feature was immensely successful from the moment it hit the market, making the client £1 million in the first three months.

 

In order to further support our client, we introduced automation of software infrastructure deployments. This included creating Azure web apps that provided application insights and Azure SQL databases on a common infrastructure pipeline.

The benefits

Award-winning security

The primary benefit of this Umbraco solution was reduced security risk. This meant the company’s sensitive data was protected from potential attacks. We were also able to introduce a highly profitable Quick Quote feature to the market on the client’s behalf.

 

Overall, the business benefits of this digital portal refurbishment were:

 

  • time saved and increased sales
  • achieved total data protection
  • reduced site maintenance costs
  • supported effective working through automation

 

From secure development to technical support, we helped this client transform its business efficiency and productivity in the long term.

Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

Google Analytics
The cookie _gcl_au is used by Google Analytics to understand user interaction with the website.

For example, in order for Google Analytics to determine that two distinct hits belong to the same user, a unique identifier, associated with that particular user, must be sent with each hit.

The analytics.js library accomplishes this via the Client ID field, a unique, randomly generated string that gets stored in the browsers cookies, so subsequent visits to the same site can be associated with the same user.

By default, analytics.js uses a single, first-party cookie named _ga to store the Client ID, but the cookie's name, domain, and expiration time can all be customized. Other cookies created by analytics.js include _gid, AMP_TOKEN and _gac_. These cookies store other randomly generated ids and campaign information about the user.
