Cypress Semiconductor has their main website developed using Drupal 7 CMS. Extranet portal which was developed earlier in Adobe ColdFusion were primarily being used by Sales & Distributors, and is an extension of Cypress Corporate website. Cypress webmaster teams being familiar with managing and administering Drupal 7 CMS, it was natural choice to go with Drupal 8. Additionally, Drupal was chosen for the following business and strategic reasons:
- Adaptable: This investment needs to be reusable or adaptable by cypress site admin.
- Cost Effective: Building solution using Drupal framework has been more effective from cost and maintenance perspective compared to old custom application built in Adobe ColdFusion
- Scale & Performance: The site has lots of files, few in size of Gigabytes. Which needed to be uploaded and downloaded in bulk.
- Integration points: Easily connected to third party applications and API integrations for better accessibility
- Migration from the Legacy system which built on Cold Fusion.
- Extranet portals : this is a whole new site within extranet with totally independent menus and submenus
- Page Access: Page level access for viewing and Editing the content by users and roles.
- File search: Search content across all files based on user access.
- Extranet Clone: Inside the system, there will be a small extranet which will act as independent one for each distributors. This extranet will have their own content, menus and accesses.
