EOS

THE CUSTOMER

EOS is the world's leading technology provider in industrial 3D printing of metals and plastics. Founded in 1989, the company is a pioneer in direct metal laser melting and a provider of highly productive systems for additive manufacturing with plastics.

REQUIREMENT

The latest technologies, efficiency and innovation - this should also be reflected on the new corporate website of EOS. A press area, the possibility to download protected content, a large HR area and a Salesforce connection were required. The requirements for the website were manifold: performance and SEO, compliance, translation management, specific role allocation within the CMS, PDF generation, search functions and release functions for protected content - all this was to be made possible in one system. The security aspect played a central role.

IMPLEMENTATION

The implementation of the new website was done with Pimcore. The high adaptability of the system and the provision of all required functions made Pimcore the perfect solution for the client's requirements.

As requested, a connection from Pimcore to Salesforce and Pardot was set up. Forms are now transferred directly to Pardot via an API connection. Thanks to a protection of the documents against spam without Captcha/Recaptcha, the security is increased.

The press area was realised by valantic DXA with a new access process. The user has to confirm his e-mail address during registration, after which the user is activated by EOS. Only then can the user access the press area. Technically, there are protected pages and assets here that can only be accessed after login.

The new HR area also offers practical functions: Job advertisements can now be created as objects and enhanced with information such as department, contact person or location. In addition, the publication of jobs can be scheduled. The jobs are then automatically output on the department page in a job map and, of course, as a detail page including a PDF version. An output of rich snippets for job offers to Google ensures an attractive and present presentation in the search results.

In addition, numerous content modules have been created to show videos and animations. Valantic DXA laid the technical foundation for putting the EOS website in the perfect light.

CONCLUSION

After a total project duration of two years, EOS now presents itself in a new light. The new website meets the high requirements and complex technical details and offers numerous useful and exciting functions. With these prerequisites, success will not be long in coming.
