Case Study: Major League Soccer achieves a flexible, consistent digital platform with Phase2 Technology

Building A Customized, Flexible, and Technically Consistent Platform

Major League Soccer sought Phase2's assistance to migrate 20 disparate club websites onto a single, unified Drupal 7 platform. The challenge was to create a consistent codebase while still providing each team with the flexibility to maintain a unique identity and sophisticated customization options for their design, content, and site management capabilities, all while supporting the legacy sites during the multi-month migration.

Phase2 delivered a customized Drupal platform that integrated with numerous MLS data sources and properties. The solution provided a cohesive yet distinct digital identity for each team and was further enhanced with Netlify and Gatsby for new tournament sites to ensure speed and performance. The vendor also optimized the cloud infrastructure and implemented DevOps practices, which reduced development cycle times and increased team velocities. This expertly engineered digital platform successfully supported massive traffic events, providing a streamlined, multi-device experience for the global MLS fanbase.
