Case Study: Institute for Advanced Study achieves a unified, maintainable digital platform with Zivtech

Institute for Advanced Study unifies 12 sites and upgrades to Drupal 9 with Zivtech

The Institute for Advanced Study, a globally recognized academic institution, faced challenges with its fragmented and outdated Drupal 7 website, which suffered from security risks, inconsistent theming, and high maintenance costs across 12 separate domains. They retained the vendor Zivtech, leveraging their Drupal expertise, to re-platform and unify their digital presence.

Zivtech consolidated the 12 sites into a single, unified Drupal 8 (and later Drupal 9) platform, implementing a new theme to improve consistency and maintainability. This solution resolved the core fragmentation issues, greatly reduced future maintenance and upgrade costs, and was extremely well-received by stakeholders. The customer's Chief Information Officer praised Zivtech for their dependability in meeting timelines and delivering a product that successfully met its stated goals.
