Success Story
Tektronix
The first Sitecore instance hosted behind the great firewall of China.
Challenge
Sitecore in Mainland China
TEK turned to XCentium with the challenge to help them become the first Sitecore instance hosted behind The Great Firewall of China.
Solution
Leaping over the great firewall
Tektronix had been on Drupal, globally, for over 10 years. An ongoing partnership delivered an optimized Sitecore Commerce solution, hosted on Mooncake – the China-based Azure platform.
Architecture and performance challenges were overcome using a smart mix of technologies (beyond Sitecore and Azure) and a well crafted solution.

Outcome
Meeting regulatory needs
With revenue north of $1 billion as a Fortive subsidiary, Tektronix does more than half of its business in China, with approximately 4,000 global employees. The new solution required hosting regional websites in compliance with local laws, particularly ICP compliance in China and GDPR compliance in Europe.
Tek's new solution facilitated content authorship and page layout by non-technical content owner teams. As well as enabling integration with internal business systems such as marketing automation, CRM, translation management systems, personalization systems, cloud hosting, and ecommerce.
Simply put, WeChat is the dominant payment platform in China. As such, integration with a commerce-driven site is a must-have feature for organizations with aspirations to sell into the market.
