This leading energy company switched from Sharepoint to Sitecore, and as a result is saving an average of 50% in hosting and development costs

Eneco is one of the leading energy companies in The Netherlands. They serve approximately two million business and domestic customers. The purpose of the Eneco website is to become the interaction, transaction and self-service channel within the Dutch energy industry.

Challenge

Some challenges that Eneco was facing with their previous site:

  • Lack of personalization: provide persona-based content to gain improved results, but their CMS did not provide that ability.
  • Need for testing: With the old site, A/B testing was not possible
  • Performance and cost: The hosting cost was too high and site performance and speed were inadequate
  • Difficult and expensive development: Internal development was costly and time-consuming

Eneco's main goals for the new site include:

  • Increased self-service for existing customers by better navigation and personalized content
  • Reduced time to market with regard to continious improvement of the overall website
  • Increased sales by optimizing sales funnel, increased demand and lead generation through the website.
  • Providing better uptime and lower hosting costs.

Solution

Working with Sitecore partner, Colours, Eneco switched to Sitecore within a year after their Sharepoint implementation.

Result

Results include:

  • Cost savings: Saving up to 50% on Sitecore vs. Sharepoint on hosting, developing etc.
  • Green solution: Because Sitecore is lighter to host then Sharepoint, it fits in the ‘green’ thoughts and business strategy of Eneco
  • Increased efficiency: Eneco has shortened their process to run activities online
