About the project
One of the project goals was to provide Messe München a sustainable editorial system. The content marketing concept of our implementation partner, the Deutsche Telekom subsidiary The Digitale, experts for digital marketing, should be implemented with ease. Finally, the content management for the editors should be simplified.
The challenges lay in the implementation of this project, both in the portal's multilingualism and in performance issues, as expected high traffic during trade fairs. The content portal is based on Drupal 8 and the associated Drupal 8 distribution Thunder. Another challenge was the migration of data from an old core media instance.
We were able to realize the initial goals of this project. The relaunch of the website made it much easier for editors. They can now quickly and easily create individual landing pages and maintain the contents of the page. In addition, ISPO.com is well prepared for high traffic during trade fairs. We have created a viable, innovative content management platform that can easily be reused for future trade fairs.
Why Drupal was chosen
We wanted to create an open source editorial system which greatly reduced the workload for the editors and is well prepared for the high number of visitors. By migrating to the drupal 8 distribution Thunder, we were able to provide our customer a future-proof editorial system that can easily be reused for other trade shows.
