Problem: Alenia North America and its subsidiary in Canada have over 300 employees and four corporate offices across the US and Canada. The company maintained five different public web sites and needed a corporate Intranet to improve communications amoung staff members. Different companies maintained the various sites and each had a different look and feel. Alenia wanted consistency between sites and the ability to add and change content at will. Additionally, customized functionality was needed to support a media portal and other features.
Solution: VMT configured the open source content management system Drupal to build the public and private sites for Alenia. The content from the existing sites was migrated into new Drupal content that Alenia could then change and customize themselves. Additional Drupal modules were added and customized to handle news and events, photo and video galleries and media rooms with searchable content. VMT also provided a new company Intranet with rich content and forms capture features.
