Project Solution

Computools performed a two-part engagement: they remediated security vulnerabilities across the client's PHP CMS and Symfony sites and rebuilt/developed the university’s online presence. The vendor received wireframes and prototypes, was given full access to the sites, identified and communicated issues to the client, executed fixes (each phase lasting about two months), and provided 24/7 technical consultation throughout the engagement.

Project Outcome

Reliability enabled the client to grow their business and win additional projects
Code across all 27 sites was tested by other programmers and found to have no issues
Ongoing partnership with responsive support and frequent communication (daily standups, multiple daily responses)
