Integrated Device Technology, Inc., (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, re-launched and expanded IDT.com using Drupal in January of 2012. Leveraging Apache Solr and advanced jQuery solutions, the site provides visitors an interface to easily search and explore the depths of the company's broad portfolio of products.

IDT wanted a new web site without the hassle of maintaining the code of a homegrown Web Content Management System (CMS). IDT found it difficult and costly to keep its previous site's content current, as the staff struggled with the system's overall complexity and inflexibility. IDT approached Mediacurrent to help migrate the ColdFusion site to Drupal. The legacy site was starting to show signs of age, and IDT wanted to avoid being locked into yet another CMS that would fail to evolve.

IDT required a solution that would prove to be fast, have an extremely easy-to-use interface, scale to thousands of products and offer the flexibility to grow and change quickly to keep pace with the company's markets. Mediacurrent and IDT turned to Drupal to leverage its vast array of features that allow non-technical product managers to easily and quickly deploy product updates.

Mediacurrent delivered a solution that met IDT's requirements, and launched the site with more than 100 hours under the project budget.

"Like the innovative engineering developments at IDT, there are risks and unknowns in any complex web design project," said Andrew Luchsinger, Technical Marketing Manager at IDT. "Mediacurrent’s highly-skilled team was able to mitigate our risks with a detailed specification and then tackle the unknowns with creative solutions. These skills, coupled with a prowess in project management and clear communication, makes for a valuable service."

The project team from Mediacurrent would like to share some of what we've learned while bringing this new enterprise client into the Drupal community.
