''We needed a digital infrastructure overhaul''

They utilize the latest technology to manufacture new products and software that improve the standard of care, helping eye care professionals around the world save sight and save lives.
With their customer base growing rapidly, and the needs of their customers changing, Optos wanted to completely upgrade their Customer Portal and needed to offer a B2B commerce platform that was fit-for-purpose. Optos had been an Episerver house for several years but had not upgraded their digital infrastructure, their acquisition by Nikon provided them with the impetus to move business operations to a truly digital offering.

Since their upgrade and increased investment in the Episerver platform, Optos have migrated all their digital properties to the Episerver Cloud. They now operate:
