BSI bets on Magnolia for contents management of the new website.
Redesign of the web portal and integration of data about funds from the previous system.
Customer
BSI is the oldest bank in the Swiss canton of Ticino. Founded in 1873 in Lugano as the Banca della Svizzera Italiana, today BSI is an institution specialized in asset management and related services for private and institutional clients. In 1998, the bank became part of the Italian Generali group, one of the world's biggest insurance companies.
Requirements: autonomy, visibility, efficiency
BSI requirement was to improve some of the characteristics that were lacking in the previous website.
One of the main problems was to optimize the website for search engines that presented some difficulties in managing metadata and some problems in creating parametric URLs not really meaningful for both users and search engines.
Secondly, BSI needed a system allowing to create some pages and sub-sites dedicated to the initiatives that are independent from the main website easily and in a short time, but preserving the immediacy and autonomy of the editing process. This process was to be integrated with the previous funds management system of the bank and updated in real time.
Finally, the customer was looking for a solution to host his infrastructure, complying with the security standards that are highly restrictive and typical of the bank sector.
Solution
The solution proposed by Tinext to meet BSI requirements is the Enterprise version of Magnolia CMS, a powerful, versatile and very suitable tool for integrations with third-party tools and systems.
The integration of data concerning funds of the bank previous management software application is managed using WebServices. These, together with the News feed RSS of the bsibank.com website, are exported and used for the mobile application.
The platform is hosted on a technological infrastructure that is highly scalable and totally redundant: for this platform, Tinext took care not only of the installation and configuration, but also of physical and logical security, ranking it at the level required by the high standards of the customer.
Strengths
• simple use, independence and autonomy of management
• fast and efficient creation of independent sub-sites or web properties
• synchronization of data from different sources in one single platform
• BSI infrastructure complying with high security standards and continuity assurance, such as disaster recovery e business continuity.
