Our solution,

Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest has more than 135 years of information about its history, recorded across a wide range of data sources. This information was scattered across different systems and archives. Without a central structure, much of it remained unused.

We developed a data platform for the Concertgebouworkest that can support its future needs and provide the foundation for a sustainable digital transformation. By connecting, structuring and standardising data from multiple systems, we make information easier to find and widely accessible across the organisation. This prevents duplicate work, improves efficiency and creates opportunities for further optimisation. It gives the orchestra a clearer overview and makes its heritage useful in day-to-day work.

Information that once took hours to find is now accessible in just a few clicks. This digital foundation helps the orchestra honour its past while preparing for the future.

Together with DSL, we’re organising our history in a modern way for the future. It may still seem a long way off, but our goal is to make our rich history accessible to everyone by our 150th anniversary. What we appreciate about DSL is that, despite their unfamiliar data jargon, they quickly find their way around our orchestra’s history. Let’s be honest: not everyone can immediately translate that into the right piece of music.
