Enterprise Integration projects belong to some of the most complex projects in the IT world. Getting several existing applications working together in a reliable and efficient way requires choosing an integration middleware that not only fulfills the technical requirements, but that also promotes „agility“. Apache Camel is one of the Open Source projects that shines in this area, not only because of its rich set of technical features, but also because of its lightweight approach to Enterprise Integration.

The Oscar-winning director Xavier Koller is filming the story of the well-known Bern citizen named Dällebach Kari. For this exceptional movie the filmmakers needed a special website, which was designed for them by Canoo.
In order for quick and easy maintenance, we created a custom, lightweight content management system based on the WordPress platform. The site needed to be not only easy to maintain but also adaptable to the needs of the film crew and production team. To this end, we developed several custom Plug-ins for WordPress, allowing things such as the online editorial department to continuously upload live videos. There are other interactive features as well, for example each visitor can place his or her favorite joke on the site and other users can evaluate it.
That’s how a Website became a real Film portal. We are looking forward to seeing the movie! You can access the Film portal under the following link.
