Lagardère Active’s core objective was to build a central repository to manage all content and publishing company-wide, which it tried to develop with a relational database. With the help of MarkLogic partner 4D Concept, Lagardère Active selected the MarkLogic® Enterprise NoSQL database platform to serve as the single platform for powering Digital Factory, Lagardère Active’s central repository that integrates, manages and searches all of the organization’s data.
This allows IT to build the technology behind digital products quickly, which in turn has transformed the reputation of the IT department from roadblock to a business partner and co-contributor with the editorial department.
