DPG Media
To ensure that readers are able to read the news as quickly and in the best possible way 24/7 via various online platforms, de Persgroep relies on Axxes IT Consultancy. In this sector it is extremely important that the reading experience is optimal.
The websites and apps of DPG Media have an average of ten thousand readers per minute. It is crucial that the reading experience for each reader is optimal.
IT = AGILE SECTOR
"The biggest challenge in Amsterdam is the endlessly changing landscape. They take this very seriously at DPG Media; the IT team's objectives can change several times in a short space of time. You have to be able to handle that as a developer, who often prefers to work long and undisturbed on a feature." Kenneth says.
The technical challenge also lies in the broad group of readers that the IT department supports. Not every reader has the latest computer with the latest browser. All software must therefore be optimised for older technologies, which are still used by a relatively large group. The accessibility of the apps and sites for the disabled is also very important.

Blind or visually impaired people cannot read a physical newspaper. These people have to use their screen readers to "read" an app or site, the IT team supports this technology with great interest. Since there is a paywall on the DPG Media sites, this also means that the flow for creating a subscription must be very easy for this target group.
