Case Study: Legacy.com achieves scalable, decoupled publishing with Facet Interactive

Legacy.com launches a decoupled Drupal platform in 6 months with Facet Interactive

Legacy.com, a Quantcast top 50 site, was building a new platform and needed a partner to own the delivery of its Drupal CMS within a strict six-month deadline. Their challenge was to prioritize features based on value and revenue potential while managing a complex, multi-team development process across different time zones. They engaged the digital strategy agency Facet Interactive to provide technical product leadership and ensure on-time delivery.

Facet Interactive implemented a value-driven agile process, assisted in selecting a development agency, and provided technical product ownership. They architected a robust decoupled Drupal system that delivered a modernized platform with near-real-time publishing. The solution was delivered on the six-month timeline and under budget, successfully powering the obituaries for over 2,000 newspaper affiliates and supporting 23 million monthly visitors.
