Customers who trust Interlake
“The Archive On Demand project was particularly important to us because it was the first time that assets previously hidden in the archive could be freed. Because the provision costs were so low that we were finally able to think about business models, especially in the longtail sector. It was also important to us that the solution was scalable – both upwards and downwards.”
“Our restaurants and our guests count on us – technology solutions need to work smoothly and reduce stress for our employees.

Examples of content management systems (CMS)
that we successfully implement and operate with customers
Magnolia enables companies to combine content, customer data and existing technologies to create appealing websites, portals and apps. It supports both self-hosted solutions and cloud services and offers numerous integrations and security features. Interlake has been successfully operating Magnolia CMS in conjunction with various shop systems such as Shopware and Intershop since 2017.
CoreMedia CMS is a flexible, headless content management system (CMS) and digital asset management (DAM) system that aims to enable comprehensive digital experiences. It offers features such as personalised content tailored to users’ needs and preferences. Interlake has been running CoreMedia CMS on complex microservice architectures since 2021 to ensure that our customers are always accessible.
CONTENS is the central content management platform for the successful operation of international websites, intranets, extranets, landing pages and newsletters. Interlake and CONTENS have known each other since their time together in the Coldfusion User Group. The partnership was cemented through joint projects, including the development and construction of an intranet for one of the largest system catering companies in Germany.
Drupal CMS is a flexible, powerful and secure open source content management system that offers personalised content, omnichannel engagement, ease of use, seamless integration and comprehensive security and privacy features. It is particularly popular with developers and large organisations due to its flexibility and extensibility. Interlake has been running Drupal at non-profit organisations since 2008.
WordPress CMS is a widely used, flexible and powerful open source content management system that was originally developed as a blogging platform and has evolved into a comprehensive solution for creating and managing websites of all kinds. It offers customisable themes and plugins, a user-friendly interface, extensibility through the integration of e-commerce and SEO tools, and a large and active community that provides support and resources.
In 4 phases to a stable Azure Cloud application with carefree operations
1. Analysis
2. Fitting
3. Go live
4. Operations
You should plan for this:
In 6-8 hours of work on your side (spread over 1-3 weeks) we will implement the first phase together.
What you get out of it:
You get clarity for your architecture in Microsoft Azure, benefit from our best practices and benchmarks established in many projects and receive concrete recommendations for action for implementation including costs and timeline.
This is what we plan to do together:
First, we clarify the common goal, concretise the software design and technical requirements, and focus on an analysis of the current and target status. Then you receive our concentrated expertise from 28 years of experience: we check the feasibility of the concept, optimize the current architecture based on best practices, develop concrete recommendations for action and create an individual plan for you, which we then harden and discuss in a joint final session.
You should plan for this:
Depending on the complexity of the environment, we usually need between 3-10 days of workon your side for our 2nd phase ‘Fitting’. We can provide you with a more precise time horizon after step 1 ‘Analysis’.
That’s what you get:
This is where the real magic happens: you get certainty from us about the feasibility of the concept and therefore no cost surprises from us. How? By setting up the Azure infrastructure in phase 2, carrying out a test flight and immediately initiating the recommendations for harmonization with our reference architectures. Because we all want to be able to rely on it working afterwards.
That’s what we intend to do together:
We officially start the implementation of the project, set up the infrastructure in Azure and already set up the governance, security guidelines and other automation components. A test flight can then start to deliver the first results. This is followed by harmonization with our best practices and the addition of potential further components from our reference architecture, which we decide on together.
You should plan for this:
As a rule, we need between 1-5 days for our 3rd phase ‘Go Live’. We can give you a more precise time horizon after step 1.
How you benefit:
We customize the environment to your requirements and validate your system architecture in the long term. Then we can celebrate the go-live of the productive environment together.
This is what we plan to do together with you:
We customize your interfaces to your individual requirements, ensure the necessary system integrations and processes and carry out load tests in which we put your application through its paces. We then carry out optimizations and finally go live. Regular operations can then begin.
