Background
The new owners of the Berliner Zeitung decided to completely omit the old technology and radically modernize the publishing system behind their editorial office. We are grateful to have been part of the team that initially transitioned berliner-zeitung.de to the Livingdocs publishing system. The team consisting of CMS, digital transformation and publishing experts, only had a handful of weeks to accomplish a first but comprehensive Livingdocs integration. We accepted the challenge and together with Livingdocs, Netcetera and Core, we delivered just in time and in under four weeks.
Product description
The whole technology stack has been replaced with carefully selected components that are powered by modern and well architectured software. Easily it was possible to support the requirements of the previous system and exceed the expectations of the new owners, the newsroom and the whole editorial staff. With the transition to Livingdocs, the integration team improved the overall editing experience, visitor experience and provided ideal circumstances for further innovations and improvements.
Problems
- Extreme Deadline: Only a few weeks were available to design, develop, and deploy the CMS transition.
- Multiplatform content delivery: Content had to be delivered seamlessly across devices and platforms.
- Multilingual complexity: The team had to manage language-specific sections hosted within primarily German content pages.
Solutions
- Thanks to the modular well-architected Livingdocs CMS, we were able to meet the challenging timeline and even surpass customer expectations.
- Livingdocs CMS supports multi-channel and multi-format content delivery by default, which allowed the integration team to move fast forward.
- By having a very flexible metadata definition on publications, it was possible to introduce editor design components that automatically fetch the desired content by language.
