Background

The client initially contacted us for building an internal portal for their 1,67,000 global employees across 70 different countries. The internal portal was supposed to be a “Shares Redeeming Platform” for the company employees and we took up the challenge of design and development of an efficient, performant and professional portal that could sustain the huge data and concurrent user activity. From thereon, we forged a solid partnership and what followed for next 4 years was a series of standalone projects and enhancement work to their vast network of web platforms across various countries. The web architecture that the client has is a vast network of 150+ Drupal 8 multisite set up, and approximately 50+ separate functional Drupal 8 sites. We carried on a series of at least 25+ (and ongoing) undertakings over a span of 4 years with success and pride.

Business Challenges & Solutions

Over the course of the total engagement & partnership, we helped them tackle a host of business challenges. Some notable among these are:

  • Realization of a complex shares redeems platform to be used by 1,67,000. It needed a robust admin section for teams across various countries to manage the redeem points and perform export, import, approval, etc. Also, it needed strong security, and validation based on their employee code and internal passcode, on top of the standard Drupal authentication. Also, the platform needed to be extremely performant, since the number of concurrent users was supposed to be extremely high.

  • Built with Drupal, the present setup of the sites was quite static and a lot of the page layouts were non-flexible. It caused tremendous trouble for the backend team, especially considering the vastness of the website network and how distributed the teams were across multiple countries. Our team strategized the rehaul of the pages across their most notable brands and provided a component- architecture. We made it possible for them to mix and match from a vast network of components, and create their own content pages with zero developer interference. 

  •  Another huge challenge they were facing was being issued with content moderation. With such a vast array of content rolled out each day, they needed an extremely robust content approval and publishing mechanism on their site. They were still using a very primitive workflow. Our strategy team discussed the business requirement and after a lot of brainstorming, came up with a perfect recipe tailored to perfection to their business needs.

  • At the time we took over, they were following a very inefficient translation and multilingual mechanism. It was prone to errors and was not covered within the content moderation process. Hence it was a cause of a huge headache for various stakeholders. Our team, in association with the Chief Media Strategist from their company, discussed how to streamline the process and introduce the content moderation flow to the translation mechanism as well.

  • This company had a rich history of 350+ years. They wanted to rehaul their lackluster timeline section and for the same, they needed the suggestion of our UI/UX team. We presented them with several ideas and finally, we were able to deliver just what they needed.

  • Another important aspect of our ongoing partnership is technical strategy and maintenance. Since their tech setup is so large in scale, it is also prone to sudden outages and urgent bugs and issues. And we are a one-stop-shop for all their technical issues. Whatever the issue is, our technical team strategizes and solves it. 

  • The company had a very primitive job portal that needed a massive rehaul. The job portal was slow and buggy. Also, they had different portals for different countries and it was not unified, which was causing a lot of administrative challenges. Our technical team discussed various approaches with their stakeholders and finally decided that it was time to unify all the career portals under one roof through common API integration. They chose to go ahead and integrate Talentlink API.

Ongoing Collaboration

After 4 years of engagement and professional partnership with this client, we have emerged as a one-stop-shop for all their digital needs. We continue to work on a host of new initiatives for the company and hopefully, will continue to do so in years to come.
