The Swiss Physical Society (SPS) is one of the leading organizations promoting physics in Switzerland, providing resources, publications, and events for scientists, researchers, and students.
SPS required specialized technical support to resolve issues, ensure stability, and upgrade their existing Typo3 CMS to newer versions.
Kukarika was brought in to provide hands-on troubleshooting and maintenance, enabling SPS to continue operating a secure and reliable platform without disruption.

A legacy Typo3 site serving an academic community — stability-sensitive, security-critical, and impossible to take offline during the upgrade.
