Challenges

Given the solution that Estee Lauder wanted, Srijan identified Drupal to be the best choice for the core platform. Drupal powerful content handling was just right for the huge quantity of learning resources that Estee Lauder had. Drupal out-of-the box features around multilingual, as well as proven efficacy in decoupled solutions made Drupal the right choice.

So with Drupal as the content repository, here’s what we delivered for Estee Lauder:

A fast and scalable admin system with an interactive user interface:

The core enterprise learning management system was developed in Drupal 8 which would provide a user with an organized knowledge repository, easily accessible through different devices such as mobile or tablet. Since the courses covered different types of content, it was imperative to ensure the site doesn’t slow down.

While Drupal is scalable to support content-rich sites and experiences, React was chosen for its ability to efficiently update and render interactive components, such as the location of the user, across different mediums (web, mobile apps, and chatbot/VoiceBots).

Since the solution demanded multiple types of content (text, videos, audios, quiz, pdf) in different languages with a scalable backend and a creative UI, decoupled architecture was an easy choice.

Efficient and engagement learning ecosystem:

The learning management platform curates all resources, eliminating the need to conduct periodic classroom sessions to train its people or repeat a session across different locations. Since the platform would be available both online and offline, the learning was no longer restricted to a particular time slot or place.
