Project Overview
As a part of Archer Jordan's mission, they needed to have a platform that was reliable, secure and could automate the day to day business recording functions flawlessly with minimal intervention from the team. Allowing the team to focus on other business requirements that make Archer Jordan's services outperform their national competitors.
To that end, we were engaged to help overcome the high technical challenges and technical debt that needed to be resolved in order to launch a new Drupal 8 based site that secured Employee / Employer information as well as was able to communicate to the various required entities in order to perform day to day operations needed to ensure that client's employees received the benefits they deserved and were required to have by law.
