Case Study: University of Cambridge modernizes Alumni Groups with CiviCRM and Drupal

University of Cambridge reduces custom code by 93% with CiviCRM

The University of Cambridge faced the challenge of maintaining an old, custom-built system for managing its extensive network of nearly 450 alumni groups. This bespoke application was complex to maintain and provided a poor user experience. The university partnered with CiviCRM to migrate this system onto a more powerful and flexible platform integrated with Drupal.

CiviCRM implemented a solution that leveraged its API for data migration and its integration with Drupal for displaying content. The result was a 93% reduction in custom code, dramatically improved page load times, and a more consistent experience for both administrators and end-users. The new platform also provided full search engine indexing, which was previously impossible.
