Sector(s)
Stage Entertainment is an international entertainment company and one of the world’s largest theater producers that plays a key role in the popularity of the musical genre on the European Continent.
Over 10 million visitors attend Stage Entertainment productions and shows every year, and AnyforSoft is genuinely excited about participating in Stage Entertainment's mission by developing a new content solution and launching a revamped digital platform.
About the project
Objective
Create an incredibly flexible and best-in-the-field user-friendly content management platform that unites the local needs of German, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Russian markets and the overall Stage Entertainment headquarters with all their different and unique digital goals!
Challenges
Stage Entertainment had all its European websites handled locally. They all used different technologies and analytics, which complicated the process of managing all those properties. When the new show was announced, the Stage Entertainment team had to create a new website from scratch. Not to mention that all the shows had different UI/UX designs. Only a single cohesive platform could solve all these issues.
Technologies
Solution
AnyforSoft became a technical consulting partner implementing a cohesive Drupal 8 multisite solution. Working closely with the head of the product on the customer’s side AnyforSoft team made sure all business requirements were implemented.
The complexity of the project was in the migration of all of Stage Entertainment’s online properties into one. Each property had different goals, cultural backgrounds, and diverse local planning, keeping in mind that all these peculiarities were constantly changing.
During the development phase, we visited Stage Entertainment’s office in Amsterdam, and their head of product visited two of our offices several times. Those meetings strengthened our understanding of the project and improved project awareness.
