── Introduction

Cinemark, a titan in the global entertainment industry, has carved a niche for itself across the cinematic landscapes of Latin America. With an influential footprint spanning countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, it has become synonymous with exceptional movie-going experiences.

However, in a rapidly digitizing world where customer expectations are ever-evolving, resting on laurels wasn't an option for Cinemark. The call was clear: embark on a pioneering digital transformation journey to further magnify the allure of the cinema experience.

Enter SunDevs.

── The Challenge

For an industry stalwart like Cinemark, transition is never simple. The task at hand? Overhauling an antiquated tech stack in favor of a sleek, tailored solution. This metamorphosis, spanning across diverse nations, demanded more than just technological agility—it called for strategic foresight, meticulous planning, and a deep dive into both potential pitfalls and prospects.

But technology wasn't the only maze to navigate. In the corridors of decision-making, a murmur of skepticism arose. Shareholders, anchored to the familiar, showcased an initial hesitancy towards this digital leap.
