European leadership for the Drupal CMS

Adyax Drupal has created solutions for many customers in all fields:

  • In the field of Institutional sites with the creation of sites for the French government (first and foremost gouvernement.fr, the government's official website), the United Nations, and for the European Union. 
  • In the field of e-Commerce with sites for the Hachette Group or the M6 group, for example
  • In the field of Telecommunications with sites for Orange and SFR
  • Sites for CAC 40 group leaders: PPR, Societe Generale, and Ipsos, among others
  • Sites for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises or dynamic and innovative start-ups: Cigalle, DisNous, INA
  • Sites for the media: Rue89, Slate, M6, France Télévision, TF1 Group, France24, and Le Figaro Group

Adyax has won and kept these accounts with a constant commitment to quality and with a unique expertise with the Drupal CMS. Drupal CMS has become the leader in the world of complex web sites for several reasons:

Adyax now offers to all projects on Drupal version 7, because we *already* tackled major projects with this latest version.

Drupal is a development framework and an open source CMS based on PHP. Most of the websites we produce are made with Drupal. The most powerful Content Management System, Drupal  has become very popular in recent years and not without reason:

  • Drupal is based on a strong and active community of 500,000 members
  • Since Drupal is very modular, it offers more than 7000 modules, keeping a simple core
  • Drupal manages the problems of websites today: connectivity (web services, applications, widgets), multilingualism, mobility and speed (thanks to the many system caches)
  • In addition to being a complete CMS, Drupal is a powerful PHP development framework. Most of the modules as well as the core present an API that can be the foundation for business applications.
  • Drupal offers an intelligent and modern management of site content: structured content using the Field API, classified and tagged using taxonomies, controlled by the query builder (Views) or the "drag'n'drop" page builder (Panels)

Performance issues, often inherent to Content Management Systems are addressed with the use of many high performance cache tools. These tools are all extremely well integrated into Drupal, often with ad-hoc modules: Varnish, Memcached, NGnix, APC, MongoDB, etc.

With the Search API, it's possible to connect many different search engines. At Adyax, we have gotten used to installing Apache SOLR, but other options are possible, such as the solutions Exalead editor, Antidot, Synomia or open systems like Sphinx.

Finally, Drupal provides the ability to create "site factories" thanks to its Profile Installation system & Features module. Since Drupal distributions are very popular among CIOs who want to reduce and optimize the development costs of their websites, you could say that they have become an Adyax specialty.
