The challenge
Building progress on a complex foundation.
AuroraTV needed to evolve a municipal broadcasting platform that residents depend on for public meetings, community programming, and civic communications. The work required a comprehensive Drupal upgrade, accessibility improvements, API modernization, and continued platform evolution without disrupting public access.
Our approach
From shared understanding to working systems.
- 01
Assessed the existing Drupal platform, publishing workflows, accessibility gaps, and integration needs before sequencing the modernization work.
- 02
Upgraded and refactored the platform foundation so editorial, media, and public information workflows could remain reliable during delivery.
- 03
Improved accessibility, performance, and API readiness while establishing an ongoing technical partnership model for future platform evolution.
