Our journey with Interior Health started with determining the right platform for their long-term digital needs and strategizing a user experience and architecture that will be adaptable to their evolving requirements. After thorough analysis of more than 100 parameters, like performance, SEO, content authoring, migration, maintenance, cloud hosting, onsite SEO, ease of use, flexibility, total cost of ownership etc, we finalized Drupal as the platform of choice.
Our user experience journey with Interior Health was no less interesting. Interacting with stakeholders from 10+ departments – leadership, marketing communications, IT, HR, content managers etc. – we built the overall strategy for the user experience and implemented the design with a thorough design thinking methodology.
In parallel, we carefully planned our migration approach from SharePoint to Drupal working closely with the customer’s IT teams. A complex set of entities interacted with one another. We built an approach that cleared up redundancies, improved overall content architecture and ease of ongoing content management. We also had to choose the best cloud hosting solution for the customer based on their long-term needs.
Once the user experience and migration strategies were finalized, the entire implementation was executed in a time-bound agile fashion. Multiple teams – migration, user experience, content, Drupal development, infrastructure – worked together and in parallel to successfully implement the entire website and launch the same.
After a successful launch, we took over the ongoing 24*7 maintenance activities as well. Ongoing maintenance was categorized into two major parts - regular maintenance and Innovation/Enhancements. Anything to do with the upkeep of the website was part of regular maintenance – Drupal updates, critical website functionalities, SLA-based critical errors etc. Anything to do with ongoing improvements were part of the innovation/enhancements category – new features, new user pages, additional enablers like chatbots etc.
