Corporate website migration for the leading copper and silver manufacturer - KGHM

Content Migration

During the migration, we used:

• Migrate API;
• contrib Drupal modules - migrate_plus, migrate_tools, webform_migrate, location_migration;
• custom migration module;
• custom scripts

Integration with SAP Ariba

SAP Ariba is a software that helps companies manage online purchases. The biggest benefit and reason why companies use it is the automation of several processes, e.g. integration of invoices with correct orders that minimizes the risk of payment errors. We used SAP Ariba to download and display tenders and buyers on the new KGHM website.

How did it look from the technical point of view? We used the automatic downloading of tender data from the Ariba API endpoint. This saves the data in the corresponding Drupal entity and uses it later to display the tender. Additionally, Cron starts downloading buyer data from another Ariba API endpoint. After, the data is matched to the tender and filled in in the tender entity.

Moreover, we took care of the automatic deletion of old tenders in the Ariba system. We also enabled the manual deletion of selected tenders from Drupal.

Automatic Newsletter

The module that the previous newsletter was based on is incompatible with the latest version of Drupal, so we had to come up with a different solution. The Simplenews module is perfect since it offers subscription management. Additionally, we created a custom module for newsletter sending according to subscriber-selected categories (e.g. “open tenders”, “current reports”, “quotation reports”). People who subscribed to the previous website’s mailing list did not have to re-subscribe. We prepared a custom solution that migrated user data and adjusted it to the Simplenews module requirements.
