Forum One and Metro: Digital Transformation at DrupalCon Portland 2024
During DrupalCon Portland 2024, which began May 6, 2024, Forum One and Metro showcased their joint project to overhaul Metro’s digital infrastructure. This collaborative effort has successfully transitioned Metro’s five separate Drupal 7 websites into a cohesive and sustainable Drupal 9 platform, as detailed in a blog post by Ben Crawford, Senior Solutions Architect at Forum One. The project has been distinguished by its strong focus on accessibility and inclusion, ensuring that the digital needs of historically marginalized communities are met.
A standout accomplishment from this partnership is the redesign of the Oregon Zoo’s website, which now boasts a mobile-first, multilingual user interface that integrates smoothly with external ticketing and donation systems. This successful modernization underscores the effectiveness of strategic collaborations in achieving complex digital transformations on time and within budget.
