Case Study: Belga streamlines newsroom operations with Superdesk

Untangling Legacy Systems with an Eye Toward Growth

Belga, Belgium’s leading news agency, needed a better way to support growth, do more with less, and replace an outdated content management system that was limiting its newsroom operations. Rather than spend significant time and resources building a new proprietary system in-house, Belga looked for an open-source alternative and chose Superdesk, an award-winning headless CMS for digital newsrooms.

Superdesk helped Belga centralize assignments, coverage monitoring, content production, and distribution in a single system, improving collaboration across IT, journalists, and editors. With Superdesk, Belga eliminated duplicate modules, streamlined workflows, and freed up IT resources to focus on revenue-generating projects like Belga.press, while also adding features such as MasterDesk, video editing, and Keycloak integration.
