The challenge presented
![Page 6: Helsinki Music Centre Case Presentation, Ambientia](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5491ddb7b479590d2b8b5872/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The challenge presented 1/3• The Music Centre’s public website will be implemented with a
content-management system with an outsourcing of the technical administration.
Ambientia Business Platform Services will handle the operation of the web service.
• The technology used in the implementation must have a
lifespan of at least five (5) years.
Liferay, the preferred technical/technological choice/solution

The challenge presented 2/3• The content management system has got
to be flexible and vendor-independent in order to allow for any future upgrade or development.
• Liferay, the preferred technical/technological choice/solution
• The technical solution should be reliable and should provide/offer facilities with which to integrate different databases and server platforms.

The challenge presented 3/3• The technical platform should not be bound up
with the Music Centre’s technical environment. Ambientia offers the administration
as a service• It may be the case that the functionalities of the
technical environment cannot be implemented with the content management system, in which case the functionalities will be customised in conjunction with the implementation; thereafter, they will be integrated both as part of the web site and into the administration interface of the content management system.

The challenges

The challenges we are currently facing• From day one, the volume of traffic
directed at the service impacted the efficiency of the hosting environment. It still presents itself as a slow service.
• It takes a really long time for the thumbnails to generate. There’s a Liferay bug report that's currently open concerning this issue.
