Challenge

The National Lottery was looking for a partner to whom they could assign the maintenance of their main sites, www.lotto.be and www.euromillions.be. Next to the regular maintenance, the National Lottery also asked LBi to develop the complete new website and to keep the statistics regarding all web traffic (Webanalytics).

Solutions

In 2006, LBi has taken on the full maintenance of the existing site. Next to the regular maintenace, there are many other extra developments carried out for the National Lottery, from developing a simple form to setting up a complete web application to do opt-in marketing.

One of the most important elements of the site is loading every week several times the results of drawing. These results are obviously listed on the website but are also used for a number of statistics and tools which can be found on the website.

Since the end of 2007, LBi is developing the new website. For this project Tridion is used as CMS combined with numerous custom applications specificly developed for the National Lottery. The main difference is also that a lot of attention is spent on the performance of the system. With three front-end servers and with a maximum on statistic pages the system is capable to intercept the more heavy actions which occur regularly on the webservers (especially with the special drawings with an extra large jack-pot).

In January 2009, the brand new version of the site was released and it is really an example of expertise!
