Radio New Zealand

Upgrade of legacy systems

Radio New Zealand's system for managing publishing rights was showing it's age. The DOS-based application was difficult to use, and almost impossible to modify. The data was stuck in an outdated, inaccessible database.

Radio NZ were referred to Able, and we worked with them to develop a replacement system based on Ruby on Rails. This involved:

  • modelling the system using UML
  • building the new web 2.0 interface
  • migrating the existing database to the new model running on MySQL
  • introducing multi-user capabilities

Able continues to work with Radio New Zealand to improve both this system and others.
