Summary

Celonis, a process mining software company, used Netlify Enterprise Solutions to supercharge their content production. They initially used WordPress but outgrew it as their success increased and customer base grew. Switching to a static site architecture using Netlify improved build speed, but there was still room for improvement. Celonis then switched their CMS from WordPress to Contentful and began using Netlify's High Performance Build, which significantly reduced build times. This enabled the company to scale their website production, democratize access to their CMS, and host a livestream for 18,000 attendees with just a few weeks' notice. By giving over 60 people at the company the ability to publish content with Netlify and Contentful, Celonis streamlined their content production process, increasing page count from 100 to 100+ pages per month. The new workflow also improved website performance, reducing load times by 82.3% and SEO rankings. Additionally, Celonis used Netlify's A/B split testing feature and deploy previews to optimize conversions and reduce the time spent on reviewing site changes. The company was able to host a successful virtual event for 18,000 attendees, showcasing the effectiveness of their new website architecture and processes built with Netlify Enterprise Solutions.
