The ABC Family division of Walt Disney reached out to Achieve Internet for assistance on their newly acquired Idealbite.com website. The original project was a straight transfer of the current website from an Expression Engine CMS to Drupal. One constant with every large Enterprise Level project is requirements that change on a regular basis. This is where Achieve Internet’s experience really kicks in. Through a well-tested Change Order process, in addition to a thorough Architecture and Planning foundation, Achieve Internet was able to double the scope of the project by only adding one week to the project timeline.

The final project included a complete site design as well as a third party integration of an email newsletter system. The site’s basic feature was daily health tips directed towards women in the 25 to 55 age group. The site encourages women to collect these tips in their Profile account and share their favorite tips with the other members. As a result an extensive custom Registration and User Profile module needed to be engineered to ensure the highest level of user interaction.

An often over looked aspect of the project was user and data migration. In any Enterprise Level Solution it is important to allocate the appropriate resources to the data migration task. In Disney’s case this task was complicated by the inconsistency of the data and the original architecture of the Expression Engine database. Once the data was scrubbed and ported over to Drupal, getting the data to display in the Drupal format was straightforward.
