PZ Cussons Boosts Intranet Performance 70%

PZ Cussons is a global organization based out of the United Kingdom.  Managing and maintaining intranet infrastructure across manufacturing and distribution centers in Asia, Africa and Europe is critical. Balancing content and collaboration with performance across regions where network latency is high and bandwidth is low led PZ Cussons to implement Aptimize’s SharePoint WAX. 

Microsoft’s SharePoint provides the framework for content management and WAX applies techniques to instantly improve performance.

“Factor in the 'last mile' of comms where you're dependent upon local, in-country infrastructure - particularly in the developing world - and you really want to reduce traffic and requests without loss of experience nor content. Aptimize compresses all that content and reduces the requests, so rich content can be delivered to all whether an employee is sat in our Manchester head office or in a depot in Nigeria.”

Mark Cadwaladr, Digital Technology Manger, PZ Cussons.

Application Performance worked directly with the team at PZ Cussons and deployed WAX in one day, instantly reducing page load times by up to 70%, saving bandwidth and traffic costs and improving content delivery across the intranet to 3,000 employees.

PZ Cussons is a large global manufacturer of personal healthcare products and consumer goods and is a FTSE 250 company with annual revenues of over £700M.
