MTA successfully moves its emergency/weather website to the cloud

The MTA was also laboring under an inefficient, outdated publishing process, which required manually updating HTML and XML files along with managing tens of thousands of objects on the website file systems. The process was becoming an unsustainable, lengthy, laborious, and error-prone process. During an emergency/ weather event, the MTA had to simplify its website to compensate for the increased user traffic, effectively turning a normally robust communications vehicle into the equivalent of a plain text page.

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.

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.”
