The client was operating in multiple countries, country-specific websites were hosted on the same Sitecore instance. The new website had to leverage the existing Sitecore version (8.2) to achieve the personalization requirements.
Implementing a new UX design for the website to focus on the customer experience, and make it fast and easy for web visitors to find relevant product information as they were using Lucene Search Provider.
Supporting a complex technology stack— the current environment was multi-site & multilingual with region specific websites.
Keeping information consistent across websites by establishing a central repository for all product information
Delivering optimal and consistent brand experience across regions.
As the client was non-technical ,it was difficult to Manage the content in the Sitecore CMS
Deployment process was quite complex as they were doing it manually by FTP providers.

The Sitecore Experience platform was used to develop the website as it provides the functionality needed to address the key requirements including best-in-class visual design and IA, personalization of content delivery, user-friendly content and publishing.
Installed, configured and implemented Solr search for Sitecore and MongoDB installation for xDB so that the Users information can be collected and personalized to provide personalized experience to end user
Followed the Helix guidelines and naming conventions strictly to prevent the conflicts with other sites in the same instance.
Implemented Workflow to properly manage the content before publishing into Delivery Server.
Implemented Auto CI/CD Pipeline so that the deployment process will be smoother and versioned for roll back.

The Website performance was faster then before.
AS the UX was improved ,the end users were more towards website and then can easily found the related products in a faceted manner.
