The challenge

Reformatorisch Dagblad, the Netherlands' largest Christian newspaper, ran a 2016-era website on Polopoly CMS that lacked the flexibility to handle massive content volumes and integrate with multiple external services.

The solution

Strapi Partner Smartshore Ability deployed Strapi as a content hub connecting 7+ integrations, including legacy archive import, publishing systems, news-supplier feeds, live blogging, Elasticsearch search, analytics, and a subscriber login and paywall, plus API access for two native mobile apps.

The results, in context

The Strapi-based platform manages over 900,000 articles and serves more than 1,000,000 monthly visitors, with 7+ system integrations. A team of 10-15 RD editors and 3 CNE editors publishes on it daily.
