Case Study: University of Waterloo accelerates Drupal modernization with ImageX

University of Waterloo modernizes 1,100 websites with ImageX

The University of Waterloo, a major Canadian research institution, faced the challenge of migrating its vast ecosystem of 1,100 Drupal 7 websites before the platform's end-of-life. They also needed to modernize key digital properties, including a crucial student expense calculator and an outdated website for their global mathematics outreach centre. To accelerate this complex technical process and transform their digital presence, the university partnered with vendor ImageX for Drupal consultation and development services.

ImageX embedded its experts within the university's team to provide migration support, fix bugs, and develop strategic solutions. For the expense calculator, they created two reusable Drupal modules, making it adaptable for various departments. For the outreach centre, they delivered a complete Drupal 10 website redesign with multilingual support. The results included a streamlined migration process, an improved user experience for thousands of prospective students, and a new global web presence reaching over 300,000 students in 85+ countries with full accessibility compliance. ImageX's work provided sustainable solutions that also contributed valuable tools back to the Drupal community.
