La révolution de l'édition de Record avec ArcXP
Opportunité
Records's custom Ruby on Rails platform, although powerful, faced challenges in scaling its extensive content library and expanding its user base. To reduce maintenance and allow their existing team to concentrate on developing new experiences and innovation, they sought a platform that would allow them to break free, focus on the future and also enable them to pursue the AI innovation path.
Solution
Collaborating through an Agile LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) process, code.store accelerated Record's team in their migration to ArcXP. Our team focused on the architecture, content migration, SEO optimisation, and development of custom blocks as well as custom embeds.
Record, a leading Brazilian media powerhouse, found its custom Ruby on Rails CMS struggling to keep pace with its ambitions. While powerful, the platform became a bottleneck as Record's content library ballooned and its user base surged. Maintaining the system consumed a big chunk of developer resources, stifling innovation and the ability to deliver new experiences for their audience.
