Streamlined Digital Ops for a Fortune 50 Company
World Kinect Energy Services
World Kinect had been growing at a much faster pace than expected, even outpacing Apple over the past decade. With 2,500 locations and more than 8,000 employees globally, their rapid expansion was, however, putting a strain on their IT operations, particularly regarding their Drupal websites. They turned to weKnow for assistance in improving the management of their 42 Drupal sites. Their goal was to merge these 42 sites into a single Drupal multi-site setup, enabling them to manage the codebase from a single installation. The proposed solution aimed to address two key challenges: optimizing development operations and ensuring a stable, developer-friendly infrastructure. Thankfully, one of our strategic partners, Pantheon, provided the infrastructure we needed, resolving the development environment issues and offering scalable solutions for the websites. With that problem addressed, we shifted our attention to the central administration of the sites. We recommended using the Drupal Domain Access Module, a collection of modules that supports centralized management of all sites within one Drupal installation while allowing them to have different domain names. What was the overall outcome of the project?
