Technologies Used: Websites

Challenge: Alenia North America and its subsidiary in Canada had four corporate offices across the United States and Canada with over 730 employees. The company maintained five different public web sites and wanted a corporate intranet to improve communications among staff members. Different organizations within Alenia maintained the various sites and each had a different look and feel. The customer 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 the new Drupal Web site that Alenia employees could then change and customize. 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.

Results: Alenia North America now has a branded intranet that serves as its primary employee communication and collaboration tool for its team. The customer also now has a consistent look and feel for each of its external facing Web sites. Non-technical users can easily update content for both the intranet and Web sites using the Drupal content management system.
