Additionally, to free up costs and tech resources associated with server maintenance, BAnQ wanted to migrate from on-premise hosting to cloud hosting. ## The Challenge BAnQ wanted to migrate its website from dotCMS to Drupal 9, and its hosting from an on-premise solution to Acquia Cloud Platform. It wanted to build a custom Drupal admin interface to improve its website's functionality, searchability, and accessibility. However, implementing content entry in existing wireframes with newly created features like content blocks, buttons, titles, and headers proved challenging. And it was difficult to anticipate and determine technical specifications for new content types between back-end development and front-end requirements. ## The Solution Partner [Evolving Web](https://evolvingweb.com/) took the lead in helping BAnQ integrate a seamless, sustainable content creation and site management workflow into Drupal. They performed technical discovery workshops, identifying integration points and infrastructure needs for authentication, then collaborated closely with BAnQ's technological and design teams so they could take ownership post-launch. Additionally, Evolving Web defined launch roles and responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition and provided content entry training and governance best practices, empowering content editors to build high-quality, accessible content independently. The teams collaborated to develop custom components and content types in Layout Builder. Evolving Web also refreshed the site’s visual design, added WCAG-compliant features, and improved the site’s information architecture. The website implemented various technologies that integrated seamlessly to create an ambitious website hosting the province's archives. The technologies combined include: - Acquia Cloud Platform for hosting - Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for the employee logins - Radware web application firewall - Google Custom Search Engine for search By integrating all these technologies, the teams created a website that provides critical and timely health information to millions of Quebec residents. And Evolving Web credits Acquia's four environments (dev, QA, staging, and production) with helping it confidently ship features faster than ever. ## The Results The teams customized more than 14 content types and 17 components for Layout Builder. The new BAnQ website has a fresh design and a user-centric, accessible information architecture. By meeting challenges head-on, BAnQ's new website provides easy navigation and highlights the institution's cultural richness. Thanks to Acquia's redundant, highly available platform, the BAnQ website sees, on average, over 350,000 visits and 1 million views per month. And migrating its hosting from on-premise to Acquia Cloud Platform means that BAnQ no longer needs to maintain servers, freeing up significant costs and resources. ## Additional Resources [View More Resources](/index%2Ephp/resources) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-yellow-icon.png) Case Study 4 min ###### BJC When BJC needed a scalable platform that offered a decoupled digital experience foundation, it turned to Acquia for a fast and flexible solution. ](/resources/customer-stories/bjc) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-blue-icon.png) Case Study 1 min ###### City of Burnaby: Golf Burnaby To create a user-centric experience for the Golf Burnaby website, City of Burnaby decided to build on the foundation of existing Acquia technologies. ](/resources/customer-stories/city-burnaby-golf-burnaby) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-yellow-icon.png) Case Study 3 min ###### Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) Acquia technology helped USFQ migrate its sites to a new host in record time. ](/index%2Ephp/resources/customer-stories/universidad-san-francisco-de-quito-usfq) ## Learn more about Acquia solutions: First Name Last Name Email Company Job Title Country Country AfghanistanÅland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua & BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAscension IslandAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBosnia & HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBritish Virgin IslandsBruneiBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCanary IslandsCape VerdeCaribbean NetherlandsCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicCeuta & MelillaChadChileChinaChristmas IslandClipperton IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongo - BrazzavilleCongo - KinshasaCook IslandsCosta RicaCôte d’IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaDenmarkDiego GarciaDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard & McDonald IslandsHondurasHong Kong SAR ChinaHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLaosLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacao SAR ChinaMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmar (Burma)NamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth KoreaNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestinian TerritoriesPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairn IslandsPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRéunionRomaniaRussiaRwandaSamoaSan MarinoSão Tomé & PríncipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia & South Sandwich IslandsSouth KoreaSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSt. BarthélemySt. HelenaSt. Kitts & NevisSt. LuciaSt. MartinSt. Pierre & MiquelonSt. Vincent & GrenadinesSudanSurinameSvalbard & Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyriaTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad & TobagoTristan da CunhaTunisiaTürkiyeTurkmenistanTurks & Caicos IslandsTuvaluU.S. Outlying IslandsU.S. Virgin IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVatican CityVenezuelaVietnamWallis & FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabwe State - Select -AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasArmed Forces (AA)Armed Forces (AE)Armed Forces (AP)CaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarshall IslandsMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMicronesiaMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPalauPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirgin IslandsVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming Marketing Opt-In Yes, I would like to receive updates and information about Acquia's products, events, webinars, and more.
