The Challenge
Achieve has a rich history of collaboration with RightScale. The company provides efficient configuration, monitoring, automation, and governance of cloud computing infrastructure. Achieve has recommended RightScales services to clients in need of cloud management systems, and has leveraged the company’s cloud management services to scale Drupal in the “cloud.” Achieve has used these cloud services to enable servers to accommodate the typical peaks and valleys of traffic flow experienced on a standard website.
So when RightScale needed two new digital properties developed, they turned to Achieve for help. For the first project, RightScale required assistance with the migration of content from a previous site to a new multilingual site with languages in Japanese and Korean. RightScale demanded a very quick turnaround for this new site.
The second site that Achieve developed for RightScale was a C.O.D. (Conference Organizing Distribution) site which is used for building conferences and event sites online. RightScale wanted their C.O.D. site to better market their events and webinars in order to increase revenue streams centered around their conference schedule. RightScale required a unique and highly complex agenda display that created a highly automated workflow for content editors.
For each project, RightScale had Achieve focus heavily on User Experience, specifically on the back-end of the platform to facilitate administrative workflow.
The Solution
In both instances Achieve created custom modules that simplified the process of updating content to the sites. In the first project RightScale required a system that handled translation of its old content into both Japanese and Korean. Achieve was able to develop a custom module, The Translation Management Dashboard, which established an easy-to-use interface for translators. Achieve delivered the desired requirements to RightScale well within the expedited time frame.
The second project required Achieve to focus on both the unique agenda display, which strayed from core Drupal components, and workflow facilitation. In both cases Achieve created custom modules to tackle the complex challenges that this project required.
The Result
Achieve created a completely custom interface for translators, which made updating content more efficient. The Translation Management Dashboard enbabled a streamlined process of converting content in English into the desired Japanese or Korean for the new site.
For the C.O.D. site, Achieve created a module that replicated the unique agenda display that RightScale desired. Through superior understanding of Drupal architecture and deep PHP domain expertise, Achieve created an automated workflow that allowed content editors to add content in one place, which then have it populated in other relevant fields.
Achieved
Achieve streamlined workflow for content editors by creating custom back-end interfaces that increased efficiency, which ultimately saved time, resources and money for RightScale.
