Case Study: Zurich University of the Arts scales media sharing with Madek by Ragnarson

Zurich University of the Arts powers media sharing for 3,500 users with Ragnarson

Zurich University of the Arts, the largest art university in Switzerland, needed to scale the development of its open-source media sharing platform, Madek. Their internal IT team sought an experienced external partner to help build new features and improve functionality, requiring a vendor who could work closely with their on-site developers and advise on efficient solutions. They partnered with Ragnarson for software development.

Ragnarson provided a flexible team of 1 to 4 software developers to work alongside the university's product team using an agile approach. The solution, built with technologies like Ruby on Rails and React.js, focused on balancing numerous functions with ease of use. The partnership, which has been ongoing since 2012, has been highly successful with low employee turnover and the same tech lead for seven years. The platform now supports 3,500 active users and has over 85,000 shared files.
