Sitefinity Setup and Module Development for a Leading University in the Middle East

How We Helped a Leading University in the Middle East Achieve Efficient Sitefinity Setup and Module Development

How Eveliko stepped in as the primary Sitefinity development team for a leading Middle East university, providing ad-hoc consulting, module development, multilingual support, and go-live assistance during their self-started SharePoint to Sitefinity migration.

Self-Started SharePoint Migration Hitting Sitefinity Knowledge Gaps and Development Bottlenecks

Migration Started Independently Without Sufficient Sitefinity Expertise

A leading university in the Middle East had begun migrating their platform from SharePoint to Sitefinity on their own, but found themselves needing external support - a mix of consulting, training, and hands-on development assistance to keep the project on track.

Knowledge Gaps Blocking Development Progress

The university's internal development team lacked the depth of Sitefinity expertise required for certain modules and configurations, resulting in pitfalls and decisions that risked undermining the quality and efficiency of the implementation.

Broad and Evolving Scope of Requirements

The engagement required flexibility to cover a wide range of needs - from module development and multilingual support to LDAP setup and email campaigns - with requirements that evolved as the project progressed.

Ad-Hoc Consulting, Proof of Concepts, and Full Module Development as an Extended Sitefinity Team

Ad-Hoc Consulting and Pitfall Prevention

Eveliko provided on-demand consulting sessions to the university's development team, identifying common Sitefinity pitfalls early and offering clear guidance to help the team make informed architectural and implementation decisions throughout the project.

Proof of Concepts and Module Development

Where needed, Eveliko developed proof of concepts and complete functionalities on behalf of the university's team - including search functionality, news and event management modules, content type customisation, and project setup - accelerating progress and reducing risk.

Multilingual Support and LDAP Setup

Eveliko ensured proper multilingual support was implemented for the platform and provided expertise in LDAP setup and email campaign configuration, covering the technical integration requirements specific to the university's environment.

Code Reviews, Issue Resolution, and Quality Assurance

Ongoing code reviews and issue resolution formed a core part of the engagement, ensuring quality was maintained throughout development and that any problems were addressed promptly to avoid accumulating technical debt.

Collaborative Delivery and Continuous Adaptation

Regular meetings and calls kept the relationship collaborative and responsive. Eveliko consistently adapted to the university's evolving needs, ultimately working closely with the internal team to achieve their Sitefinity development goals.
