AFM Digital Infrastructure
Organisations with distributed branches face a difficult balance: they need consistent administration and a recognisable institutional identity, but local teams must still be able to maintain relevant information and publish their own content.

The challenge
A national–provincial–assembly structure creates multiple digital ownership boundaries. A conventional single-site content management system does not automatically solve the need for central governance, distributed content editing, and independent local publication.
The solution
Zorithal developed a shared platform architecture in which organisational entities can be structured within a common administration environment while supporting individual websites and publishing workflows.
The approach uses reusable software rather than treating every assembly website as a separate system with unrelated administration and maintenance.
Key engineering areas
- Multi-tenant separation and organisational hierarchy.
- Configurable website content and publishing workflows.
- Role-aware access to administration functions.
- Shared infrastructure with local publishing flexibility.
- Consistent reusable design components and content structures.
- Foundations for managed operation, updates, and technical support.
The result and present status
The platform has been reported as complete at the core development stage and functioning as intended in the development environment. Production deployment, organisation-wide adoption, uptime, and operational impact should not be stated as achieved until independently verified.
