First Church of Christ, Scientist unifies digital publishing across 10 years with Ibexa

The First Church of Christ, Scientist sought to transition from traditional print to a digital-first strategy to modernize its operations. Their challenge involved creating workflow efficiencies for extensive editorial processes, delivering a consistent user experience across multiple properties, and building a custom online experience to support their religious mission, all while seeking a long-term technology solution. They partnered with vendor Ibexa, utilizing the Ibexa Experience platform.

Ibexa, through its partner Mugo Web, implemented a solution that provided strong native content structure, extensive permissions, and workflow integration with key systems like Salesforce. This enabled the Church to successfully execute its multi-channel strategy, including moving The Christian Science Monitor to a digital-first, subscription-based daily publication and relaunching its Bible study guide with a mobile-first design. The solution facilitated a unified reader entitlement system and streamlined content syndication across its own publications and to third-party platforms.
