Tricentis

Building a frictionless experience with infinite room to scale, collaborate and delight

We created an innovative digital platform for growth and expansion that maximizes seamless conversion.

Tricentis is a global leader in the automated software testing industry providing continuous performance testing and software quality assurance products for enterprise applications. Planning for significant growth and expansion, Tricentis came to Alloy wanting to upgrade its existing site and digital infrastructure to meet its performance and scalability needs through this growth phase.

We started our engagement with an existing site audit to assess website performance, scalability, SEO, UX and content, and fit for business requirements. Our evaluation showed significant performance challenges including downtime during key marketing campaigns. In partnering with Tricentis, we recommended a re-platforming of the website to a decoupled architecture and a visual design update for a more modern look and feel.

As a content-forward organization, Tricentis’ existing site struggled during large initiatives. With integrated marketing campaigns and product launches, along with news and announcements, Tricentis needed a site strong enough to support the consistent spike in traffic with each new software release and announcement. Pairing that with global expansion plans, Tricentis needed a site that would also support growth. The solution was an infinitely scalable digital platform, with Alloy leading a paradigm shift in how Tricentis served its content to customers.

How We Helped

Rethinking Performance & Scalability

For a successfully seamless conversion, Alloy and Tricentis had to tackle minimizing the friction with each new product launch to create a faster and smoother impression for visitors. By implementing a structure that reduces friction like long website load times for a content-heavy site with a robust schedule of product launches, Alloy’s dev team brought agile solutions to structurally improve all users’ touchpoints with Tricentis.

Visual Website Design Refresh

Collaborating with Tricents’ in-house designers, Alloy led a rebrand that visually positioned their brand as secure, fast, and dependable. Creating a design system that was extendable as Tricentis grew, Alloy created a flexible design system that could grow as fast as the business.

Easy Collaboration, Worldwide Reach

With worldwide marketing outreach, every millisecond counts. Tricentis needed to push new global marketing campaigns while simultaneously updating its site to accommodate multiple languages and countries. Building with Netlify guaranteed a better user experience for each product launch by allowing faster updates to content, features, and overall website infrastructure.

An Ecosystem of Possibilities

With 2,000+ pages of content, Tricentis’ site required effortless coordination between marketing and development teams. Integrating with Marketo allowed Tricentis to nurture customer relationships from first touch all the way through sales. Faultless product launches are essential to success, and Marketo assisted Tricentis in getting to the finish line with each new software platform release.

Our Digital Solution to the Perfect Launch

By utilizing ultra-modern web architecture to minimize friction even before launch, Alloy delivered the right digital tools for Tricentis to grow and expand their business.

How We Built With Decoupled Architecture

Cutting-edge Tech for Current Business Needs

Moving away from monolithic CMS implementations, which can bottleneck the process of delivering fresh content to users, Alloy built a statically generated site with pre-generated content during build deployments resulting in zero processing time upon launch. Once a user clicks through to a newly launched campaign, the content for that specific customer is waiting for them right after they click through a product launch email. Creating an infinitely scalable site translates into content loading within a quarter of a second (or 250 milliseconds). Tricentis’ site instantaneously navigates as quickly (if not quicker) as a user can click from page to page.

Marketo & Progressive Profiling

Tricentis utilizes Marketo for their lead generation, but together with Alloy, that process was customized through progressive profiling. Streamlining the user experience using this method allows Tricentis a deeper knowledge of their user while also not bogging customers down with lengthy forms about themselves and their objectives.

Netlify

Alloy’s choice of Netlify hosting guaranteed that no matter what, Tricentis’ site stayed up and running. While most web hosts deliver sites via one cloud provider, Netlify hosts from several, so if one server goes down, Tricentis would stay up and running from a redundant server. Not only would Tricentis have that almost locked-down guarantee of always being live, but through Netlify, each and every user is served the site from the closest node, so Tricentis loads in the absolute shortest amount of time for each unique visitor.

Next.js

Providing front-end microarchitecture via Next.js Narwhal’s team ensured optimal image delivery to users. Through Next.js visual content is served and optimized based on each user’s platform, whether that be sending a retina display image or the best option for a user on mobile.
