Choosing an optimal publishing solution
The content management and publishing system used by MeinBezirk.at, RegionalMedien Austria’s premier news site, was a multi-tenant cloud-based SaaS solution hosted by the software vendor. Starting with a comprehensive analysis of the current solution and business needs, our task was to weigh options of replacing the CMS with a new solution - be it custom-made or off-the-shelf - fully aligned with RMA’s business goals, robust and easy to maintain.
MeinBezirk.at faced a pivotal challenge - the limited responsiveness of the multi-tenant SaaS CMS to the company’s evolving business needs. These challenges offset the benefits of the existing system, prompting RegionalMedien Austria to explore a transformative shift with our help.
