The new HERE.com goes live on Contentful’s Digital Experience Platform
The new HERE.com was launched in July following a rebrand and migration to the Contentful DXP platform from Drupal. I successfully led the large international team on this Agile project for top digital agency AKQA.
HERE is the world’s #1 location data and mapping platform, powering satellite navigation systems for over 70 automakers. Their technology is being utilised for autonomous driving, as well as powering large numbers of global shipping, logistics and delivery companies worldwide.
The project involved rebranding their existing Drupal site, and rebuilding the entire site via a new suite of content modelled components on the Contentful Digital Experience Platform with automated migration for over 3,000 pages of content.
The team leveraged Contentful's DXP and Vercel's cloud infrastructure to enhance site performance and user experience, for both the client and their customers. Algolia's AI Search Infrastructure was integrated into the site, significantly improving search functionality and user engagement.
In this client facing role, I managed an exceptional tech team of twelve people, as well as UX and creative. Despite a tight deadline and a series of complexities to resolve, the site was successfully launched within the client’s required timeframe.
“It’s been an absolute blast working with you on the HERE migration project! Your energy and talent made it such a great experience. Thank you for all the awesome contributions and good vibes!”
