Wells Fargo: Rolling out a portal based on microservices

Wells Fargo has redesigned its intranet homepage based on microservices architecture, reconfiguring over 50 specific homepages for lines of business. New features include a personalised toolbar with links, aggregated notifications from multiple systems and a ‘My Day’ widget with time-relevant communications. There is also an app library where lines of business can develop micro-apps that integrate with other applications.

Benefits include better site performance, easier management of the platform, a much better mobile experience and the ability to configure a compelling digital workplace experience going forward through integration with multiple applications.
