Operating across different APAC regions will mean having to deal with website performance, latency challenges and locating their resources as close as possible to their end users.
Adopting multi-cloud deployment for Magnolia
NCS moved from an on-premise setup of Magnolia CMS to a multi-cloud deployment model – leveraging Magnolia PaaS as well as a self-hosted environment on AliCloud for the China market. Using Magnolia’s multi-site capability, NCS was able to deploy its content efficiently acoss China, Singapore and Australia websites.
Flexible Content Templates and Component Structure
Magnolia’s flexible content structure allows NCS content editors to quickly change page content and reuse the same templates across several pages such as landing pages and campaign sites with minimal need for developer assistance. The same templates and components are sharable across other regions for ease of adaptation.
Sharing content across multiple websites
By establishing a parent and child content structure, content can be populated automatically across different websites. For example, corporate information need only be updated in the HQ website in Singapore, and the updated information will be automatically rolled out across other sites, where appropriate. Regional websites are also given the flexibility to “detach” themselves from the automatic content update, where needed.
Strong support from the Magnolia team
The Magnolia team also provide NCS with strong support during the critical period of the NCS brand launch, going over and beyond expectations to help ensure the new website is launched on time. The team has provided clear guidelines on implementation and were always readily available to provide support to NCS, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free migration process.
