Our solution,

The Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest has a wealth of information spanning more than 135 years, spread across different systems, archives and data sources. Without a central structure, much of this valuable information remained unused.

We developed a future-ready data platform for the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest, providing the foundation for a lasting digital transformation. By connecting, structuring and standardising data from multiple systems, we make information easier to find and accessible across the organisation. This prevents duplicated work, improves efficiency and opens up opportunities for further optimisation. It also provides a clear overview and makes the orchestra’s heritage useful in day-to-day work.

Information that once took hours to find is now available in just a few clicks. This gives the orchestra a digital foundation that honours its past and prepares it for the future.

Working 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’s great about DSL is that, despite the unfamiliar language of data, they quickly find their way around our orchestra’s history. Let’s be honest: not everyone can readily match 4[2picc].3[enghrn].3[eskl,baskl].3[cfag] - 4.3.0.0 - pk.4slw[glsp].1hrp. - str:14.12.10.8.6 to the right piece of music.
