LONDON and NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading digital product agency and Optimizely Gold partner, Candyspace, announcing the launch of the new CFM International website - cfmaeroengines.com - marking the first commercial implementation in EMEA of Optimizely's SaaS-based, headless Content Management System (CMS).
Developed in collaboration with Optimizely, the new site harnesses the advanced features of the platform and positions CFM International at the forefront of digital transformation in the aerospace manufacturing sector.
Leading the way with Optimizely's SaaS CMS
CFM International (CFM) - one of the world's largest commercial aircraft engine manufacturers - selected Candyspace as its digital partner to redesign and rebuild its website on the new SaaS version of Optimizely's CMS.
Candyspace has deep expertise in headless and microservice technologies and as an Optimizely Gold partner, were perfectly positioned to replatform CFM's website to a headless, SaaS solution, overcoming issues with legacy technologies and delivering a fast and performant platform to support the company's future plans.
The Optimizely SaaS platform was selected for its strengths in several key areas:
CFM: A model of digital transformation
The new cfmaeroengines.com site highlights rich interactive experiences, real-time updates, and advanced data-driven storytelling. Over 250,000 annual visitors now enjoy responsive UX, intuitive event booking, and seamless news integration across devices.
Candyspace: The force behind the build
As a Gold Optimizely Partner, Candyspace brought unmatched product strategy, UX expertise, and technical craftsmanship to this project. Candyspace served as strategic and technical lead for the project.
Tom Thorne, CEO at Candyspace, said:
"This launch marks a major milestone - the first rollout of Optimizely's SaaS CMS outside of North America to launch. We're proud that CFM International is benefitting from a platform built for speed, performance, and agility."
Optimizely: Redefining CMS for modern enterprises
Optimizely continues to be the leader in the digital experience space, recognised in numerous analyst reports for its architectural flexibility, headless capabilities, and tightly integrated personalisation and experimentation suite.
The new SaaS solution empowers marketing teams with creative independence, reduces technical overheads, and accents DevOps agility - a shift noted at its launch in July 2024 .
"Optimizely CMS was built with marketers in mind - giving them the freedom to move fast with tools like Visual Builder and AI-assisted workflows, while still delivering the scale enterprises need," said Nazanin Ramezani, VP of Product, CMS at Optimizely. "It's exciting to see CFM and Candyspace lead the way in Europe with a site that shows what modern digital experiences should look like."
