Selected Work
Enterprise Portal Modernization
An organization needed to replace an aging collaboration platform without losing the content, identity, search, and operating requirements that made the existing system business-critical.
02
What Jim did
I helped define the enterprise architecture, plan the content migration, account for identity integration and search, and guide Drupal platform delivery around long-term maintainability.
03
Result
The work created a more supportable platform direction and reduced the risk of treating modernization as a simple lift-and-shift.
04
Constraints
- Existing content and workflows had to be understood before the platform direction could be trusted.
- Identity, search, migration planning, and long-term support requirements needed to move together.
- The solution needed to improve maintainability without disrupting business continuity.
05
Technology approach
- Enterprise architecture to define the platform boundaries and integration points.
- Content migration planning to reduce risk before implementation.
- Identity integration, search planning, and Drupal platform delivery to support a maintainable experience.
06
What this shows
- Modernization works best when architecture, content, identity, and operations are planned together.
- A platform migration is not only a technical replacement; it is a chance to simplify ownership.
- Search and content structure need early attention because they shape the user experience.
