A global document management platform for banking.

BBVA required a unified enterprise content management platform capable of operating at global scale, integrating with existing banking infrastructure, and handling document volumes growing from tens of millions to billions.

The challenge.

Define the architecture for a worldwide Nuxeo deployment. Connect the platform to BBVA's existing technical infrastructure across multiple regions. Ensure high availability, consistent performance, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.

The migration strategy required a phased approach: tens of millions of documents at launch, with a clear path to billions as the platform becomes the single source of truth for enterprise content across all business lines.

Architecture & Technical Expertise

Nuxeo Platform

API-first content services platform selected for its cloud-native architecture and ability to scale to billions of objects.

MongoDB

Document-oriented database providing horizontal scalability across global regions. Tuned for banking-grade throughput and consistency.

ElasticSearch

Full-text search and indexing across massive document collections. Optimized for sub-second query response at enterprise scale.

AWS (S3, Docker, Alpine)

Cloud-native infrastructure on Amazon Web Services. Containerized deployment with S3 storage for high-availability document access worldwide.

Architecture, integration, and migration at global scale.

Comprehensive architecture design and technical expertise to deploy Nuxeo as BBVA's enterprise-wide content management platform.

01

Architecture Design

Complete technical stack definition for global deployment. MongoDB, ElasticSearch, S3, containerized on Docker/Alpine. Designed for high availability across regions with failover and disaster recovery.

02

Custom Connectors

Bespoke integrations connecting Nuxeo to BBVA's existing systems: legacy storage platforms, billing infrastructure, and internal banking applications. API-first approach ensuring clean separation of concerns.

03

Performance Optimization

Deep tuning of MongoDB and Nuxeo for banking-grade performance. Query optimization, index strategy, caching layers, and connection pool management calibrated for concurrent global access.
