Case Studies

Benzinga

Interested in Finance markets and its functioning? Look no further than benzinga.com. Benzinga is a vibrant and trusted financial media outlet which provides the latest information from Wall Street's top traders. Its high quality and unique content encapsulates all the necessary important sensitive information which is required for any investor to survive in the most uncertain and volatile markets. Benzinga does this by providing information on a real- time basis which is a feat that is yet to be matched in effect. THE ENGAGEMENT We have had the pleasure of working with this client almost since the inception stages. The site initially came to us as a partially built one still in the development stages. The site had not yet gone live. Once we engaged, we were actively involved in all the aspects of it and quickly turned out to play multiple roles like that of Technical Consultants, hosting providers, Drupal development experts etc. Our CTO himself was involved in this project initially and ensured all the decisions that are being taken are to the best interests of the client. It was at this time a lot of strategic data sharing partnerships came up for Benzinga and we were closely associated with the process of building these partnerships. The client, in full confidence of our abilities, completely let us handle all aspects of technical discussions and involved us in their major decision making processes. As mentioned before, Benzinga came to us partially built by another service provider. It came to us with a lot of bug fixes and issues like site crashing, wrong data being published etc. Since the company was in its initial stages, it was also able to cater to their immediate requests without having to worry about processes and procedures. Lot of real time immediate bug fixing were done and live site maintenance was done with no hassle. Zyxware ensured there was very little downtime when a critical issue occurred and worked immediately to bring the site back up. This dedication and ownership of the project as our own, were the two main qualities that helped us build a long relationship with them. As a start, Zyxware set up a development server and initialized GIT. Once all the bug fixes were done, a new design was given for the site and benzinga.com was made to go live. The main work for us came in terms of developing another version of the site called pro.benzinga.com which was only for subscribers who wanted to get exclusive information not available to non subscribers. The main features of this site were: Payment subscription option available for members to get monthly/ annual subscription Access to exclusive information not available in the benzinga.com website Dedicated sources for pulling in information- not available for free Calender time-line option for viewing past data: Monthly, Weekly, Daily views available Feeds- MangoDB was used to full in feeds from benzinga.com to pro.benzinga.com Over 20 custom modules like BZ Calender, BZ Author page, BZ Ad management system Over 10,000 lines of custom codes Site developed in Drupal 6 Over 50 live feeds in the website Information being pushed to almost 200 client sites Daily uploading of 200-300 articles into the website Affiliate marketing option within the website Over 1000+ subscribers Powerful search functionality within the site Apart from getting content from news synidcates like Reuters, Benzinga also has its own pool of editors and contributors who can submit articles and write-ups to the site. Firstly, the content being pulled in from other news syndicates are monitored and filtered by the editors and decision is taken on whether to publish it or not. There are 2 kinds of Contributors: a. External contributors b. Selected contributors External contributors submit their articles and it is checked for authenticity and correctness by the editors through a small work-flow and is either published/ rejected. In the case of selected contributors, their articles mostly get published straightaway. Multiple permissions like Senior admin, staff admin, senior editor etc are set and different privileges are set. Initially when the site was released the traffic was around 18,000- 20,000 unique visitors per day. Once it gained in popularity in terms of valuable information presented in a timely fashion and the user friendly manner in which it was shown , the traffic steadily improved. In a few month's time it crossed over one hundred thousand visitors on a daily basis which is when we started facing challenges. Servers strained under the load and became slow. We introduced Varnish, memcache, CDN to increase efficiency. Servers were split into 2 and now there are a total of 4 servers. Solr search feature was introduced and it turned out to be an effective search mechanism within the site. Ad management was another factor handed over to us. Complete ad management including ad rotation, custom ad campaigns done using Google ads and other partner advertisements were done by Zyxware in a timely and effective manner. Zyxware had a good time right from the beginning working with Benzinga and finally becoming their reliable technical partner to help them achieve the best on the web. There are plans to migrate to D8 and we are excited to work with them on the shift!

INSEAD Annual Report Launched

On 04/04/2019, INSEAD launched its Annual Report 2018 in a brand new form - A microsite built on Drupal. Your browser does not support the video tag. It is exciting to see one of the world’s premier management schools roll out its annual report on a Drupal solution. As a Signature Supporting Partner of Drupal, we’re extremely proud to have built the website. The idea of having an interactive website for publishing Annual Report was indeed a novel one which not many in the higher education sector was looking at. The INSEAD digital team, Zyxware and Perfect Day worked together to reimagine how the annual report can be presented in a digital form that enhanced the experience of the audience as it surfed through the achievements of the institution. The prime focus was given in bringing the essence of the institution to reflect in the report. From the moment we had the technical workshop at Fontainebleau, France, we knew it was an ambitious project as the whole website was to be built from scratch in 2 months; from creating a new identity, to interviewing stakeholders, to building, testing and launching the new site. The site has been designed around the 10 key focus areas in the past year. The content has been laid out in a hierarchical fashion for easy navigation which ensures all information about any particular topic is available to the reader at a couple of clicks. The content authoring workflow was another critical aspect of the system. Content is authored, maintained, and updated by a multitude of content authors across various departments and initiatives. The new Annual Report website has essentially captured the idea of INSEAD and has come out as a beautiful flagbearer of the achievements of the institution in the past year. We hope to see more such innovations from INSEAD setting the path for others to follow. INSEAD Annual Report 2018

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Portal

Zyxware Technologies developed the Sardar Patel portal in partnership with NVLI (National Virtual Library of India) and IIT Bombay (Indian Institute of Technology Bombay). The NVLI entity has been developed by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, under the National Mission on Libraries (NML) undertaking. The aim of NVLI is to put together a digital collage of information of the entire Indian cultural heritage in the digital web world. Their main goal is to create, collect, encode and collate various digital assets related to Indian culture, in the form of a portal, and to allow relevant information access through web-based search. The Sardar Patel website is a comprehensive study in the life of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a key figure in the Indian freedom struggle from the British. Built on Drupal 8, the website has the ability to translate to different languages. It showcases information about Sardar Patel collected from various libraries. A timeline on the site along with interesting tidbits, quotes and a quiz tells us about the man popularly known as the ‘Iron Man of India.’ The digital assets of over 2000 content records can be viewed based on the theme or main events in his life. The aim of the site is: To allow easy access to digital information present in the form of books, texts, videos, audios, and similar content in multiple languages. Collecting, combining and standardizing all available digital assets in an easily searchable form. Ensuring preservation of history through digital content for the future generation. Why Drupal? The decision was influenced by the wide and growing government domain acceptance of Drupal. Drupal being Open Source and Free, the site is not tied down to any legacy systems and thus ensures the preservation of the digital content for the future generation. In order to consolidate all the soft data available about Sardar under one centralized domain, the content had to be migrated from different sources. The Drupal platform enabled this along with a mobile–first user experience that reflects the evolving pace of innovation. The combination of tools that promote flexibility, the ability to translate to multiple languages, centralized CMS and editor independence also aided the choice of Drupal for this web space in Indian history. Other needs that were met with this choice include: Ease of use for non-technical content administrators Cost effective Secure and Scalable The goal of the project was to build a scalable platform on the content management capability of Drupal by migrating the 2000+ content to Drupal. Project Requirements Responsive Theme The site is custom designed and built from scratch taking into consideration the requirement specifications of the client. The site being in Drupal 8 is responsive while being user-friendly. Content Migration A key part of the project was migrating the 1 TB of data i.e over 2000 content files which included 1000 images, 800 textual content, audio and video recordings to be added as content for the site while keeping the site workflow simple and easy to navigate. We were able to import content in bulk easing the migration process. This proved to be a real timesaver. Digital Asset Management To provide users with easily accessible information, the content on the site is sorted and arranged by the main events or themes as well as the chronological order of events based on the timeline of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Custom Search The quintessential search capability of the site helps search the site for a given topic or name. It is also possible to narrow down the search options through filters using the faceted search. Organizations involved: Zyxware Technologies IIT-Bombay, India Ministry of Culture, India Modules/Themes/Distributions: Media entity Search API Solr Search Paragraph Translation Management We have also released a distribution named Biolog with all features implemented in the portal, that can be used to built biography portals easily. Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen: The list above shows some of the Drupal 8 modules that were needed to support the platform. Entities and fields allowed for more flexibility. The translation management helped in the multilingual translation of the site to the Indian languages. Result: Solid, Secure and Successful The Sardar site was successfully deployed on time and within the budget. The site offers visitors a user-friendly navigation, greater usability and more robust search functions. On the backend, Drupal offers solid site security and easier use for non-technical administrators. The multilingual capability of Drupal 8 allows the site to have the content translated into Indian languages ( Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, and Marathi ) for use of indigenous people. The prevalence of mobile usage especially among the young school and college going age group has been addressed with the responsive theme.
