Client’s Profile

A leading digital media publishing company with a vast reader base across North America, this client delivers real-time news, opinion pieces, and multimedia content on a national scale. With millions of monthly visitors and an ever-growing editorial team, they needed a CMS that could scale with their operations and enhance editorial workflows.

60% Increase in Publishing Efficiency
2x Faster Page Load Speed
100% Editorial Workflow Automation

Client’s Challenge

The client was operating on Drupal 9, which lacked the editorial speed and flexibility they needed. As their content demands grew, the limitations of outdated modules and legacy backend structures led to frequent delays in publishing, inconsistent performance, and bottlenecks in workflow approval. Their internal editorial team struggled with versioning, role-based permissions, and media handling—impacting time-to-publish and user experience.

How We Solved Client’s Problems

We performed a full Drupal 11 upgrade with custom reengineering to support real-time publishing. Key upgrades included:

Migrated and updated content types, views, and taxonomy structure
Integrated Layout Builder and CKEditor 5 for better editorial control
Streamlined role-based permissions to improve collaboration
Automated approval workflows and content scheduling
Optimized performance with smart caching and code refactoring
Retired deprecated modules and implemented modern equivalents

Impact On Client’s Business

Post-upgrade, the media company saw a 60% improvement in editorial publishing efficiency. Page speed and mobile responsiveness doubled, drastically reducing bounce rates. Editors could now schedule and publish breaking news in minutes, not hours. With a robust and scalable CMS in place, the client is now confidently expanding their content production and planning their next phase of digital transformation.
