Case Study: Gyldendal achieves a future-proof platform and best-in-class editor experience with Umbraco

From a complex and outdated system to the best editor experience available

Gyldendal, one of Norway’s largest publishers, faced an urgent need to replace a complex, outdated CMS that housed all content and product information across six domains. Novicell NO partnered on the project and selected Umbraco CMS to deliver a modern, user‑focused platform that would provide a more robust architecture, room for innovation, and a better editor experience.

Novicell NO implemented a microservices‑based solution with Umbraco as the CMS, decoupling content from legacy systems and enabling integrations (DAM, PIM, e‑commerce) over time. As a result, all Gyldendal websites (six domains) now run on Umbraco, data flows between old and new systems, editors have moved from a cumbersome system to the best editor experience available, and the organisation gained a future‑proof, more flexible architecture with fewer dependencies.
