How Capgemini uses Oracle JET

Capgemini recognises that a rich and seamless user experience is mission critical when it comes to modern business solutions. Satisfying customer demands in an era where the benchmark is very high, isn’t easy. At Capgemini, we make use of Oracle JET to consistently implement business solutions that deliver modern and responsive experiences across multiple channels. By leveraging the literally hundreds of available recipes in the Oracle JET Cookbook, we also accelerate and de-risk our deliveries, as we can make use of already proven UI components and patterns that we know will work.

By combining Oracle JET with other Oracle Cloud Services, such as the Oracle API Platform Cloud Service and Oracle’s Container Native Application Development Platform, we are able to satisfy almost any business requirement around modern application development. This, combined with Capgemini’s unique API-design first capabilities, enables us to quickly mock user experiences that expand beyond the user interface and that actually showcase how interactions between frontends and backends can be optimized. With this approach, we’re able to accelerate the speed of delivery and thereby dramatically reduce time-to-market and thus deliver increased business benefits.

Use Case 1: Modern/Multi-Channel Colleague Recruitment Application

The Co-operative Group is one of the largest consumer co-operatives, with millions of UK consumers, operating around 3.7k outlets, with more than 70,000 employees and an annual turnover of over £9 billion.

We helped our client to embark on a project to design and develop a new, modern, and user centric solution, better equipping store-based hiring managers to attract, select, and on-board new colleagues into their teams. The custom application was built using Oracle JET for the user interface, backed by the Oracle API Platform, together with Oracle Application Containers, Oracle MySql Cloud, and Oracle Integration Cloud. This is the first solution of its kind world-wide.

The solution was successfully delivered into production and is providing store hiring managers with a modern digital service that is delivering the following benefits:

• Better serve customers, members, and communities
• Increase workforce diversity to better reflect communities
• Reach a wider pool of candidates and simplify the recruitment process
• Reduce the time and effort required by hiring manager to recruit
• Increase brand visibility and membership and reduce attrition

Use Case 2: CMS for Global Mobile Application for the Largest Furniture Retailer World-wide

Capgemini has delivered a Content Management Solution (CMS) to translate content in different languages used by a mobile application that is being launched world-wide.

Some of the features of the CMS application include:

• Login using an Identity store (SSO) to ensure that employees can use their existing username and password
• Role based security to ensure that people with different responsibilities translate, review and publish content
• Workflow to assign and track individual content artefacts
• An interactive dashboard to inform business owners about the progress of translated cards
• Rollback functionality to ensure translated content can be rollback to a previous version
• The ability to translate new content for different languages depending on the launch market of the mobile application

These and many more features were delivered by a small team in a tight time scale. The CMS application has been developed using Oracle JET, because it provided us with a toolkit to re-use features like:

• UI templates without the need to pay for a UI Designer
• Responsive UI to fit any screen resolution either on a desktop, mobile or tablet
• Seamlessly integration with back-end APIs
• The ability to copy and paste complex code snippets from the Oracle Jet Cookbook like graphs, data visualization components, collections, controls and others

Needless to say, Oracle JET has been key to the success of the CMS application.
