VNU Vacature Media and Acquia relaunch online career site Intermediair.nl in record time

Moving to an all-digital business model requires speed and agility. Leading Dutch publisher VNU Vacature Media knew it needed a strong digital strategy in place to ensure the successful migration of Intermediair from a print magazine with a digital property to an online-only format. Intermediair’s move to an all-new, all-digital format was hastened after Belgian-Dutch publishing group De Persgroep acquired VNU Vacature Media. With the help of Acquia, VNU Vacature Media managed to implement a new online platform offering new features at breakneck speed.

YAAB building major news source in Middle East

Reliability and scalability were key requirements in the decision. In the news business, where readership can grow exponentially when a breaking story hits, downtime is not an option. In addition, YAAB wanted its news sites, which will combine professional journalism with user-contributed content, to function on a variety of mobile platforms.

“We set ambitious goals—four websites to design and launch in a short time period,” said YAAB General Manager Ammar Kurabi. “Drupal was a great starting point for bringing news to the mobile web.”

Humana and Digital Bungalow design a WEM campaign with Drupal

MarketBridge brought in their digital partner, Digital Bungalow, and brainstorming ensued. Jason Yarrington, Vice President at Digital Bungalow, remembers, “We had already begun researching alternatives to our in-house .NET templating system. Although we could build great websites with it, the system was not extensible or reusable. We decided now was the time to make the leap to Drupal.”

Selventa promotes personalized healthcare with Drupal Gardens

Having worked with Drupal for four years, Hayes knew that the open source platform would play a part in the new site. He also wanted a site that the company’s Business Administrator, Alissa Stanley, could maintain. The solution had to provide all the features on Selventa’s wish list. Hayes found everything he wanted with Drupal Gardens.

“Drupal Gardens provides powerful tools that give me control over the site. I can make changes as I need them without having to wait for a developer.”

Cision breaks social site boundaries with Seek or Shout on Drupal Commons

“Over the course of a few months I evaluated many potential platforms for this project. Among them were several proprietary social development platforms. Despite their ongoing licensing costs, we didn’t find big advantages to their functionality when compared with Drupal Commons. We also got bids for building the site in .NET that were several times what we ended up budgeting. Once we discovered everything we could build through Drupal Commons, the choice was easy.”
