Introduction & The Client
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, consulting firms serve as indispensable allies for organizations seeking to enhance their efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability. Amidst the ever-changing dynamics and opportunities within the industry, these firms stand as trusted sources of expert guidance, customized solutions, and actionable insights. Central to their operations are their websites and customer portals, which serve as hubs for a diverse array of content, catering to both casual visitors and subscribed users. To navigate this complex terrain and deliver a seamless, personalized user experience, a robust Content Management System (CMS) is paramount.
Enter our client, one of the world's preeminent consulting firms, boasting a global workforce exceeding 9,000 professionals spanning across 27 countries. Catering to a broad spectrum of clients ranging from multinational corporations to governmental entities and non-profit organizations, the firm's subscription service offers an extensive array of resources. These resources include meticulously curated audit programs, checklists, tools, and training modules tailored to professionals in the realm of audit and risk management.
We introduced Drupal to build seamless digital experience for 100+ micro-sites, tools and public facing heigh traffic sites for this client.
About the project
Project Description:
Expert & case studies listing: For the implementation of Expert & Case Studies listing within the project, we focused on creating a robust and user-friendly interface to showcase the expertise and real-world applications of the consulting firm's solutions. Leveraging our expertise in web development and Drupal, we designed a dedicated section that effectively highlights the firm's experts and their areas of specialization, providing visitors with valuable insights into the depth of knowledge available within the organization. Additionally, we developed a seamless framework for presenting case studies, allowing users to explore detailed analyses of past projects and their outcomes. Through careful design and implementation, we aimed to enhance the firm's credibility and showcase its track record of success, ultimately fostering trust and confidence among potential clients and partners.
Email System Enhancement: Enhanced flexibility in email notification systems, enabling administrators to configure notification types without developer intervention. Leveraged Drupal Plugin APIs for a modernized email system, ensuring extensibility for future integrations with channels like SMS or social media.
Reporting & Analytics: Developed a reporting framework for streamlined data management, integrating APIs with Microsoft SharePoint and PowerBi for efficient data retrieval, visualization, and analysis.
Drupal Upgrade: Upgraded directly from Drupal 8 to Drupal 10, bypassing Drupal 9, to save time. This involved reviewing and updating custom modules, refactoring deprecated code, and developing a specialized upgrade module for efficient transition to Drupal 10.
Why Drupal was chosen
The choice of Drupal was made based on the client's immediate need for stabilizing their current system and ensuring its long-term sustainability. Leveraging our tech stack comprising Drupal, PHP, and JS, we achieved the following objectives:
Bug Elimination: Rectified existing bugs in critical workflow processes such as registration, email systems, reporting, and commerce systems, ensuring alignment with the client's specific business requirements.
System Architecture: Developed a bug-free and maintainable system architecture, facilitating a seamless migration from Drupal 8 to Drupal 10 for future scalability and compatibility.
