Outcome

Why Drupal was chosen

Drupal was selected for its ability to support content-rich corporate websites with high standards of performance and maintainability:
- Flexible content modeling for complex and evolving information
- Strong editorial workflows and role management
- High levels of security, accessibility, and performance
- Scalability to support future services and content growth
- Long-term sustainability within an open-source ecosystem
- Native multi-site and multi-domain capabilities, enabling clearly defined websites by business segment (professional, consumer, corporate, and upcoming segments such as geothermal and network services)
- A centralized Drupal back-office that allows all segments to be managed within a single administrative interface, while remaining independent on the front end

This architecture allows new business segments to be launched quickly, even after initial delivery, without rethinking the overall platform.

Drupal therefore provides a robust foundation that supports both immediate redesign goals and long-term digital evolution.

Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen

ClamAV was implemented to ensure a high level of security for all uploaded files, providing real-time antivirus scanning to prevent malicious content from entering the system. Domain was chosen to manage multiple sites from a single Drupal installation while keeping content and configuration properly separated. Paragraphs allows editors to build rich, flexible, and structured content without relying on developers, improving both usability and consistency across sites.

To enhance performance and content discoverability, Redis and Search API were added. Redis optimizes caching and session management to deliver faster response times and handle high traffic efficiently. Search API enables advanced, configurable search functionality, making it easy for users to quickly find relevant content across multiple sites.

Finally, Security Kit and Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) strengthen platform security by addressing common vulnerabilities and ensuring secure access for users. The Gin theme was chosen to provide a modern, intuitive, and accessible administrative interface, making content management smoother and more efficient. Together, these tools ensure a secure, scalable, and user-friendly platform.
