Information Builders

For the Information Builders platform rebuild, our primary mandate was to create a series of flexible, highly utilitarian modular page elements that could be placed at the CMS content editor’s discretion. We leveraged the power of Drupal 8 Paragraphs to implement this vision, bringing cutting-edge agency designs to life within the CMS.

Our role and solution

Advanced content management

We established clean data management and elastic content interconnectivity. This provided content creators with robust flexibility and design navigation within the defined style guide.

A complex migration challenge

This project required importing nearly all the content and article taxonomy, naming and organization convention, from the client’s legacy site. Given the drastic variation in data modelling, a turnkey solution was out of the question.

To overcome this challenge, we developed custom connectors from the legacy site. This work included handling the import, mapping, and formatting of varied types of multimedia, as well as the import, translation mapping, and management of multilingual content. We also managed the smart importing of taxonomy and tag structures.

Key outcomes

The result is a site that marries a cutting-edge design with exceptionally flexible and robust content management. The relaunch not only modernized the Information Builders platform but also successfully resolved the complex data migration challenge, ensuring a smooth transition to a system that is much more performant and easier for the internal team to manage.
