SoPublishing • Platform
Evolution of the platform for ever increasing volumes of traffic.
We were approached by the team at SoGlos to help them craft a new bespoke publishing platform. Their existing system was beginning to show its age and was heavily reliant on third-party solutions. They needed something better that would run the SoGlos website and assist in managing their back office workflows. The plan and aspirations for this new all-on-one system would also enable future regional iterations of the publishing brand to be setup and run with the same ease taking the business from just covering Gloucestershire into a new regional SoPublishing platform.
Throughout the years we have worked on SoGlos and SoPublishing we have collaborated closely with the team to refine ideas into practical technical solutions. We have acted as true technical partners offering insights to address key challenges as they have arisen, and to develop effective solutions that have assisted the team in refining existing workflows and constructing new ones. This has all lead to smoother and more optimised processes which in some cases have created efficiencies that have saved each member of the team a day a week.
Website Development
16i partnered with the internal SoPublishing team to deliver the customer facing aspects of the platform in the form of the SoGlos website. The team at SoGlos designed the site and considered all the requirements needed to operate optimally. 16i then took on the development of the front-end of the site, integrating heavily with the work on-going on the platform to ensure the two worked as one cohesive system.
Back-End System
To ensure that the development of this platforms is achieving all the goals of SoPublishing and capable of handling future growth and refinement we have always ensured that everything we do on the back-end is meeting these key requirements:
Cutting Edge Technology
Continually adopting the latest advancements, achieving this by ensuring that SoPublising is always working on the latest releases of .NET.
Enhanced features and future proof design
We have been constantly adding new features and evolving the design of the platform including the addition of client proposal management, advanced collaboration tools and custom client reporting for more detailed campaign performance metrics.
Optimised performance
From improved workflows and efficient content management to the optimal, high-performance of webpages, scoring over 90 on both mobile and desktop on Google Pagespeed we are ensuring that SoGlos, SoPublishing and the SoCMS systems are delivering efficiencies that deliver results.
