Case study url: https://www.drupal.org/node/2821204

We would like to have our work on the Benefit Cosmetics Drupal integration featured as a Drupal featured case study.

The Benefit team sought a market-leading content platform that would provide their marketing team with the tools they needed to manage content; offer strong support for running multiple sites with multiple languages; handle the peak traffic load of a popular national cosmetics brand; and be sophisticated enough, technically, to allow for heavy integration with an enterprise back end system. Drupal was chosen because it excels in all of these areas.

With this project, we made several contributions back to Drupal, including:

  • Hybris Drupal Integration module generously sponsored by Benefit Cosmetics. This module was built by Third & Grove and Benefit Cosmetics https://www.drupal.org/project/hybris
  • A variety of improvements were made to Translation.com GlobalLink
  • Core patches were created for including forms on every page of a site that is heavy edge cached

If more information is required, we can work on the copy.

Thanks,
Antonella

This is already a well written and very interesting case study. I'll try to provide some deeper feedback over the next days. We might need to tone down the marketing a little bit.

Really appreciate the contributions. And agree on both of ddave's points.

Much of the opening paragraph, and clauses like the following, seem very focused on marketing Benefit Cosmetics (vs. explaining the work done):

similar to the beauty products created by the trusted, San Francisco-based brand

Also, since a big part of this work was the multi-site, multi-language effort, could be nice if the screenshots were of sites other than the American English site.
