Organizations Involved

The Universidad el Rosario, located in Bogotá, Colombia, is one of the oldest and most prestigious educational institutions in the country. Founded on December 18, 1653 by Fray Cristóbal de Torres, which made it one of the oldest universities in Latin America.

Throughout its history, it has played a crucial role in the formation of leaders and professionals in Colombia.

Its motto, "New and old" (Always old, always new), reflects its ability to combine tradition and modernity.

It offers a wide range of pregraduate and postgraduate programs in different areas of knowledge, including law, medicine, economics, social sciences and humanities.

Universidad el Rosario needed to migrate its website to a modern platform with scaling and customization capabilities to achieve an intuitive user experience for its community.

What they needed

  • Create a multisite model to incorporate at least 10 subsites within the digital ecosystem

  • Migrate an average of 8,000 pages of content
  • Integrate with Salesforce and Office 365 for authentication
  • Improve your content editing experience
  • Guarantee performance and high availability
  • Ensure the security of your platform.

The website needed a total transformation. This means a migration from Kentico CMS to Drupal 10, an updated content strategy and a style guide to organize the portal's frontend.

How we helped

We provide a comprehensive solution that begins with a deep analysis of the objectives and wide-ranging vision of the University of Rosario, as well as the needs of its users. We work closely with the university focused on understanding the organization and its objectives, knowing the users of the site. By having an open and flexible communication style, we were able to lead with empathy and successfully lead the development and subsequent launch of the website.

We also created around 10 subsites, configuring Drupal as a multisite system that provides us with impressive flexibility and scalability to achieve some independent pages with their personalized design.

Why Drupal was chosen

The Universidad el Rosario chose Drupal because it had complex project requirements and multiple types of content, which other platforms could not satisfy. It was considered that Drupal was the most suitable option for the institution due to its flexibility to allow integrations with different platforms along with the ability to scale according to the long-term needs of the organization and something very important for security.

Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen

The Rosario University has its CRM in Salesforce and required integrating multiple forms from its website with its CRM for this to be very useful in the Salesforce Suite available as a contributing module for Drupal.

With the help of Emulsify Theme, we managed to create the theme using the atomic model, and managed to have a version based on easy-to-maintain and scalable components.
