News update

Busy days ahead!
Well I just finished up a HUGE project for PSU and I hope we will get additional projects in the future. Here is a summary of the project, because of the size of the project I separated it into multiple projects.

Multi-department CMS Strategy Analysis
The first project focused on identifying the current system features, business and techincal requirements, and designing a solution with budget and schedule.

Multi-department CMS Development
The development stage focused on customizing and extending the Drupal system to support the features and requirements of the client. Detailed description of the tasks required is documented in the project profile. A quick highlight, built multi-site user management modules, build navigation and node security access modules, built google search integration, built LDAP and OpenID integration modules. Created migration tools to convert Oracle database records into the Mysql Drupal datbase system. Required created a 24 step set of tools and tasks to collect media, convert navigation and page content.

Muti-department Centralized Syndication Development
This development stage focused on providing a centralized syndication system that seamlessly displayed syndicated content into department Drupal websites. A detailed description of the tasks require is documented in the project profile. A quick highlight, Utilized Views2, CCK, and custom syndication server and client modules to provide syndicated content via XML on-demand. Developed custom filters, arguments, and views within the Views2 System to provide XML content streams to requesting clients. The major task was creating CCK extended nodes in the syndication system and customizing broken community modules.

Yep, I have been pretty busy the last eight months now I hope we can get more work lined up as the recession is finally starting to hit my employer hard. I feel confident that with a little effort we can easily pickup more contracts. The experience and expertise of myself and my co-workers spans over 55 years and many of my co-workers and consultant collegues have a simlar level of experience to myself. I feel that just providing an overview of the amazing work we have done for Portland State University and Drupal will get more people wanting us to help solve problems for them.

So if you are reading this and looking for help on serious Drupal, Concrete, PHP, Ruby on Rails, and or .NET development come on over to Swipht Technologies and give us a call or email. Or just look at all of the projects and great success stories I have on my site alone.
