Project Summary

Ignitho Technologies developed a Joomla-based corporate intranet for an IT services company, providing CMS planning, UX/UI design, and database and infrastructure development. The vendor recommended an open-source CMS implemented on Microsoft Azure for testing with an intention to migrate on-premises. The pre-deployed product received positive feedback for its intuitive, engaging design and accessibility to a broader set of employees.

Key Challenges

  • Improve employee engagement and internal communications
  • Create a corporate intranet where none previously existed
  • Ensure effective dissemination of the new CEO's messages across the business

Project Deliverables

  • Joomla-based corporate intranet
  • Azure test deployment of the CMS
  • On-premises-ready CMS implementation plan
  • UX/UI design and site skinning
  • Database and infrastructure setup

Project Solution

Ignitho recommended and implemented Joomla as the open-source CMS, deploying it on Microsoft Azure for testing with plans to move to the client's on-premises environment. The team comprised five or six developers and specialists (backend CMS, DBAs, infrastructure engineers, and UX/design) who built the intranet's look-and-feel, database and infrastructure components, and worked in an Agile process using tools like Zoom and Microsoft SharePoint for collaboration and documentation.

Project Outcome

  • Positive pre-deployment feedback from corporate end-users regarding an intuitive and engaging intranet design
  • A more accessible intranet compared with prior, more closed solutions
  • Ongoing acceptance testing and deployment with plans to go fully live within weeks
  • Agile collaboration and effective vendor responsiveness during delivery
