French media company Lagardère uses a single platform for powering its Digital Factory, a central repository that integrates, manages, and searches all the organization’s data to create new products and services. The MarkLogic platform powers several projects, including magazines, a newspaper, a real-time statistics website for top professional soccer league Ligue 1, and an app for Paris Match, one of Lagardère’s biggest properties.
With MarkLogic, we don’t spend time and money transforming data like we would have to in a relational model.
We focus on user experience and how we are going to manipulate and visualize the data. This has helped us bring in-demand, revenue-driving products to market faster than before.”
Powered by MarkLogic, Lagardère’s Digital Factory configures, structures, and ingests millions of documents. The Digital Factory can leverage this information for digital publishing on existing properties, and integrate new sources of data for new product creation.
Because MarkLogic ingests data as is, Lagardère can build new apps and services in weeks versus months with the previous relational-based system.
IT is now meeting or surpassing the business’s goals, transforming the IT department’s reputation within the organization and encouraging better collaboration.
Lagardère has eliminated nearly all of the costs associated with ETL.
