Case Study: World Press Photo achieves a multilingual, engaging contest experience with Capgemini

World Press Photo - Customer Case Study

The World Press Photo Foundation, which runs a prestigious annual photography contest, required a robust, multilingual, and user-friendly digital experience for its global audience. The challenge was to develop and launch the new Contest 2014 website, along with updating several other sites, within an extremely tight deadline. They engaged Capgemini Digital Customer Experience (DCX) as their technology partner to overcome these hurdles.

Utilizing the Drupal 7 CMS and an Agile Scrum methodology, Capgemini successfully delivered the new contest website on time and in line with the foundation's stringent style guides. The result was a highly engaging, multichannel experience for participants and judges. Capgemini's support included streamlining content migration, handling massive traffic spikes during the awards announcement, and successfully moving over 20,000 nodes of content. The client reported that Capgemini's industrialized process allowed 80-90% of output to move to production immediately, leading to plans for further collaboration.
