In 2017, Celfocus was awarded by Vodafone Business with a project to revamp its Enterprise Online Portal. Aiming to increase lead capture, customer engagement, and at getting a more insightful vision of customers’ behaviour, the portal made use of the most advanced digital marketing best practices to support and provide a customer excellency experience.

Celfocus partnered with several valued stakeholders, includingVodafone Group Enterprise IT, Group Marketing, UK Digital and other strategicpartners to build a fully automated Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution. The revamp was delivered using Agile &DevOps methodologies, with incremental deliveries and in constantdevelopment cycles.

The portal infrastructure wasfully migrated to the Cloud, providing an increasedflexibility that allows managing the use of more or less resources on demand.Cloud’s provisioning process is fully automated, making it easier to respond tobigger influxes of customers and to onboard new partners in less than a dayusing a common website baseline.

Committed to faster and moreconsistent testing processes, Celfocus was able to improve the quality of theproduct delivered in each deployed package. To do so, Celfocus is using itsAutomated Testing Framework (ATF), currently in placeon numerous projects.
