CMS Case Study: Emergency migration for a leading media group

How a modern CMS migration enabled Arena Media to replace a deprecated legacy platform, stabilise eight publications, secure subscriptions and payments, and retire its outdated system all under extreme time pressure.

How Arena Media kept 8 publications online during a critical CMS transition

Arena Media had only a few months left to move away from a fully deprecated CMS with no exit path for authentication, subscriptions, or payments.
After six months of stalled progress, We took over the project and led a full migration to Arc XP launching eight sites in just four weeks, normalising over 1,000 subscription variations, and ensuring zero downtime throughout the transition.

What you’ll learn in this case study: 


    • Why Arena Media urgently needed to replace its deprecated CMS (Cosmos).

    • How code.store executed eight website launches in four weeks without disrupting publishing.

    • How identity, subscriptions, and two South African payment gateways were migrated under extreme time constraints.

    • How Arc XP’s platform (Page Builder + Subscriptions amongs other features) became the foundation of a sustainable CMS stack.

    • The measurable outcomes: zero downtime, a unified subscription catalogue, and a full retirement of Cosmos.
