Drupal Development for Software Titan

Red Hat Software

Overview

In 2014, Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of enterprise open source software solutions, was on the lookout for a Drupal technology partner to support their public, partner, and employee-facing applications. Red Hat needed a team of expert developers experienced in Drupal to handle upgrades and migration projects for their four Drupal 7 websites. They found their ideal partner in Atlantic BT, initiating a robust and collaborative relationship that has spanned nearly a decade. Through this partnership, Atlantic BT has provided comprehensive digital project management, from design to development significantly enhancing Red Hat’s web presence and operational efficiency.

Our Process

Company Overview

Red Hat is the world’s leading provider of enterprise open source software solutions. Their products make it easier for enterprise businesses to deliver IT services on any infrastructure quickly and cost effectively. Red Hat was founded in 1993 and has more than 100 locations in more than 40 countries. In 2019, they were acquired by IBM for $34 billion dollars, making it the largest software acquisition in history.

The Ask

Red Hat has many initiatives to support their public, partner and employee-facing applications. In 2014 they were searching for a Drupal technology partner with well-rounded expertise and top development talent to handle overflow needs that they could not support themselves. They were maintaining four websites all built on the Drupal 7 platform and needed a team of expert developers, experienced in working with Drupal, to help them with upgrades and migration projects over the years.

Our Drupal Development Process

Design

We provided a design update (Lift and Shift) for two of Red Hat’s sites: Opensource and the Enterprisers project.

Development

Our Drupal technology partnership with Red Hat has led to many different types of development projects over the years. With Opensource.com we helped to rewrite custom rules modules that were not maintained well within the community. We provided a design update (Lift and Shift) and implemented gated content that also integrated with Eloqua. We managed their migration from Acquia to Pantheon, which included correcting issues with Sysadmin and Architect with subdomains.

Delight

While Red Hat has worked with many contractors and vendors in the past, none of them quite filled the technological niche that they were looking for until they met Atlantic BT. What started off as help with User Experience and front end development led to a nearly decade-long partnership. Over the years we have supplemented their team in order to increase efficiency, drive performance and improve user experience throughout their websites.
