Scottish Opera
Scottish Opera's Seamless Umbraco Upgrade Enhances Digital Infrastructure
Background
Scottish Opera’s website, previously built on Umbraco CMS Version 7, had reached end-of-life, exposing it to security risks and performance issues. Given the website’s vital role in driving customer engagement, ticket sales, and donations, upgrading to the latest long-term support version of Umbraco became essential. This modernization ensures a secure, high-performing, and future-ready digital platform to support Scottish Opera’s ongoing mission and operations.
Solution
Codiance conducted a comprehensive Umbraco Upgrade Audit to assess the specific requirements and challenges of the existing system. The team implemented a strategic upgrade plan, ensuring seamless migration to the latest Umbraco version.
Key aspects of the implementation included maintaining continuous communication with Scottish Opera, adhering to Agile development practices, and providing direct access to Umbraco Gold Certified developers.
This approach ensured transparency, timely issue resolution, and alignment with Scottish Opera's operational needs.
Impact
The successful upgrade resulted in enhanced website security, improved performance, and a streamlined process for future updates. The site remained fully operational throughout the transition, allowing uninterrupted ticket sales and donations. The collaborative approach fostered a strong client-developer relationship, empowering Scottish Opera to leverage the latest digital capabilities effectively.
"It’s been brilliant to work directly with Chris and Simon on the Umbraco development team at Codiance. They’ve been very responsive, proactively solved problems, and have kept us in the loop at every stage."
