The project aims to provide opportunities for a wider audience to connect with space through events and communities in various genres, including not only space development but also entertainment, art, and education.

Results:

The new STAR SPHERE website, with the newly integrated microCMS, was successfully launched in July 2023 for the Japanese site and in August 2023 for the English site. As a result, content dissemination through the website became more timely and required less effort, giving momentum to the overall activities of the STAR SPHERE project.

Moving forward, Monstarlab aims to support more companies and organizations in their information dissemination efforts through the improvement of existing websites and the construction of new ones using microCMS.

Challenges:

There was a need for a more efficient system to manage and update the website content for STAR SPHERE, including daily updates on EYE and the project's latest status, as well as event announcements.

Solutions:

Therefore, Sony decided to implement a new CMS product called \"microCMS\" on the STAR SPHERE website to create a more efficient and faster system for managing and updating content. microCMS is a CMS product specializing in managing content displayed on websites and is used by calling APIs from the front-end of the site. This makes it a product that can easily add content management functionality to existing websites, and it has been adopted by many companies and organizations.

Monstarlab had an existing business relationship with Sony and had earned a certain level of trust. Furthermore, Monstarlab had a proven track record in the implementation and operation of microCMS. For these reasons, Monstarlab was chosen to handle the design and construction of this microCMS implementation project. The development structure adopted a hybrid approach, with a project manager and tech lead in Japan and development members at the offshore office in Vietnam working together to drive the project forward. This enabled a balance between quality and cost.

In addition, by adopting an agile development methodology and proceeding with the project while flexibly incorporating Sony's requests and demonstrating results in a visible manner, the development team was able to adapt to changes in requirements with flexibility.
