The solution is the Caleidoscoop platform, which enables the client to create an online version of their magazine that mirrors the print edition. It streamlines the process of adding, editing, organizing, and categorizing articles.

Centrum voor leerlingenbegeleiding (CLB) is an institution working closely with every accredited school in Belgium. CLBs help students with learning and studying, and their psychological and social functioning. They publish their professional magazine – Caleidoscope Magazine annually.
The client publishes their magazine both in print and digitally. The problem was that the online pre-made solution they used lacked the tools needed to replicate the print version.
A new platform for managing the digital edition of their magazine
Handling different types of articles and supporting various kinds of media
The CMS enables the client to create an online version mirroring the printed version of the Caleidoscope magazine. It facilitates tasks such as adding, editing, and organizing articles. They can categorize articles as part of specific issues, and interlink them. This kind of flexibility opens up possibilities for various subscription types.
For the development of the web app, we opted for Java and the Spring Boot Framework. The solution was fully integrated into the CLB ecosystem — including a SAML SSO integration with the company’s Identity provider services. With an SSO (single Sign-On) we managed to comply with the strict confidentiality protocols since employees can only use their ID to log in. For front-end development, we used Angular and hosted on AWS.
