About the CMS platform
The current system supports 4,200 subpages. Moreover, it supports over 1,500 premium and free documents for logged-in and non-logged-in partners, clients, and employees. It is also integrated with Salesforce, Eloqua, and Motion Point, which form the backbone of FICO’s infrastructure. It is one of the largest systems the Speednet team has worked with.
FICO, a leading analytics software company present in 90 countries, supports almost 90% of credit decisions in the US.
Their clients include more than half of the world’s top 100 banks. More than 600 personal and commercial line insurers are in North America and other companies worldwide, from Europe to Asia to the Pacific Island countries. The high volume of data in reports and documentation required a transparent interface that FICO departments worldwide could access to streamline the global workflow in marketing and sales. The company’s overriding need was implementing a system enabling many departments to work simultaneously with different access levels.

What was included in this CMS?
Working with FICO required simultaneous communication with teams in different time zones and consolidating the needs of many business stakeholders. Our team of 9 experts was a link between FICO’s internal and external parts. It translated the needs and requirements into code without compromising the quality of the software.
We have been working with Speednet for almost 4 years and have continually been impressed with the quality of work and the attention to detail. We have built a partnership with Speednet and are very happy with the commitment of Speednet to that partnership. I would highly recommend working with them on any development project, big or small. From project management to the actual development, Speednet is highly professional and incredibly reliable.
Off-the-Shelf CMS vs Custom CMS
Off-the-Shelf CMS (e.g., WordPress, Drupal, Joomla)
- Higher security risk – frequent target for cyberattacks due to widespread use.
- Limited compliance – may require additional plugins to meet financial regulations (e.g., GDPR, PSD2).
- Less control over data – often stored in third-party clouds, increasing compliance risks.
- Hosting restrictions – reliance on external infrastructure limits security options.
- Basic access control – may not support enterprise-grade authentication (e.g., SSO, MFA).
- Integration challenges – limited support for banking systems and financial APIs.
- Scalability issues – potential performance bottlenecks under high transaction loads.
- Vendor dependency – reliance on external providers for updates and long-term support.
Custom CMS (bespoke solution)
- Stronger security – unique codebase minimises exposure to common cyber threats.
- Full regulatory compliance – built to align with financial laws (e.g., GDPR, PSD2, ISO 27001).
- Complete data control – hosted on-premises or in a private financial cloud.
- Advanced access management – supports SSO, MFA, and granular permission levels.
- Seamless banking integrations – designed to connect with core financial systems.
- Scalable for high loads – optimised for large transaction volumes and peak traffic.
- Controlled updates – no forced changes that could disrupt critical financial operations.
- No vendor lock-in – full ownership and flexibility over platform development.
Why You Should Use a Custom CMS?
The most significant advantage to a bespoke CMS is that, put, it will do exactly what you want it to do
A CMS shouldn’t dictate your firm’s web direction and marketing efforts. A custom CMS will meet your firm’s specific requirements, incorporating features and processes. Moreover, complement your existing lead generation campaigns, content objectives, and internal workflows rather than impeding them.
In certain CMSs, only the IT department or a handful of employees may possess the requisite expertise and technical knowledge to operate within the limitations of a pre-packaged solution. With a tailored CMS, you can develop a user-friendly platform that marketing, business and technical teams can seamlessly navigate, facilitating even the most sophisticated design alterations.
Experimentation with new online lead-generation strategies and content initiatives is crucial for business growth. An out-of-the-box CMS isn’t designed to adapt to your internal innovations. Marketers can depend on a customized CMS to expand alongside their initiatives, whether incorporating new APIs, leveraging multimedia content, or automating segments of the conversion process.
