Website and Next Gen

Simon Davidson

Hi,

I'm looking forward to the conference this year and all of the Next Gen goodness that I'm sure will be coming, however I was wondering if anyone has much information available at the moment.

We have found some money in our budget to redesign our entire website, and the project is going to kick off in the next couple of months.  At the previous conference it was mentioned that more of the Tessitura functionality we be accesiable through the WebAPI, so my question is this.  Are we better planning our website to work with v10 of the WebAPI or should we wait for v11?  Basically, how much extra functioanlity is it going to introduce if any?

Thanks

    Simon,

    This is a great question and one that I have been looking at myself.  Do we wait for Nextgen before we redesign the website or do we start to incrementally change things and incorporate the Nextgen changes as they are added.

    We have opted for the second approach as the Nextgen functionality will likely take a couple maybe even three years to be fully complete.  I think I would approach a redesign by dividing it up into two phases.  There is the content and UI phase and then there is the functionality and backend phase.  I think the longer you push off that backend phase the better.  I think you can redesign the UI and content to be slicker and more modern and give your customer a better experience, now.

    That is my two cents.  Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have other questions.

    Thanks,
