Project Summary

A nonprofit association serving students with disabilities hired Five Jars to integrate a new CRM and peripheral systems into their Drupal website to provide single sign-on and a seamless user experience. The vendor completed an originally eight-week project in two weeks due to emergency timelines, launched the website piece on time and without problems, and reduced the final cost from the original quote. The client praised Five Jars' communication, project management tools, and collaborative approach.

Key Challenges

  • Integrate the new CRM into the Drupal website and connect it to multiple peripheral systems for seamless SSO
  • Deliver the project on a highly compressed two-week timeline after delays with the CRM vendor
  • Ensure a clean user experience for members while coordinating with an external CRM developer

Project Deliverables

  • CRM integration into Drupal website
  • SSO/OAuth integration connecting CRM with peripheral systems
  • API integrations between website and CRM/peripheral software
  • Project plan, deployment support, and QA assistance

Project Solution

Five Jars planned and executed the integration of a new CRM into the client's Drupal website and tied that CRM into peripheral software via web SSO. The team implemented OAuth and API-based integrations, coordinated directly with the client's CRM developer, and managed deployment and QA tasks. Due to CRM delays they compressed the delivery timeline and worked intensive hours to complete the scope within two weeks.

Project Outcome

  • The website component launched on time and was the only integrated piece that did not experience problems
  • An 8-week development plan was completed in 2 weeks
  • Client satisfaction with communication, project management, and cost savings (vendor reduced final charge)

Platforms

  • CMSCMS
  • WebWeb
