Ensuring Robust Performance for Complex Site Architectures

BayWa r.e. AG, a global leader in renewable energy, sought a reliable agency to manage the continuous development and complex requirements of their TYPO3 websites. Operating in over 31 countries with extensive engagement, BayWa r.e. needed a partner with the deep expertise and comprehensive understanding required to support their intricate needs. Leveraging the success of previous collaborations that tackled specific pain points, BayWa r.e. commissioned a dedicated team at dkd Internet Service GmbH to lead this project in the spring of 2021. With this proven track record, BayWa r.e. AG aimed to make dkd their long-standing preferred agency. 

TYPO3 was selected as the CMS for this project due to its exceptional ability to manage complex corporate page structures. It also excels in languages and translations, sophisticated data structures, and allows for a contact database with automatic routing. BayWa r.e. AG  operates within an intricate corporate structure featuring numerous globally distributed and relatively independent subsidiaries, each aiming to target their respective markets effectively. The project required a CMS capable of accommodating these requirements, coupled with an agency whose expertise would ensure the smooth implementation of ongoing updates and developments. This context made the partnership between TYPO3 and dkd the ideal solution for fulfilling the company's requirements.

To address the complexities of this project, the dkd team leveraged their extensive developer knowledge and modern technologies to achieve the optimal results desired. 

• Cloudfare CDN enhanced the performance, leading to significantly faster website loading times and creating a noticeably improved overall user experience.
• Cookiebot integration ensured compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR/DSGVO), while also offering transparent cookie management for website users. 
• Solr, in combination with Bootstrap, delivered fast, relevant search results, ensuring dynamic, mobile-friendly solutions.

By utilizing a scrum team with one-week sprints, the team maintained agility and quickly adapted to changes, ensuring continuous delivery of improvements. Their expertise in this approach enabled them to create a highly effective, user-focused, and compliant website that perfectly aligned with the project's goals.

dkd’s TYPO3 CMS solutions have consistently delivered outstanding results, with BayWa r.e.’s project standing as a prime example. Leveraging years of experience in managing complex projects, dkd crafted tailored, innovative solutions specifically designed to meet BayWa r.e.’s unique needs. Through meticulous project management and a strong focus on open communication, dkd and BayWa r.e. forged a partnership that not only achieved immediate success but also secured the project’s long-term sustainability.
