Fenix launches enterprise Drupal implementation for Gennum Corporation
Fenix announces the launch of another Drupal initiative, this time for Gennum Corporation, a leading Burlington based semiconductor company. Designed, developed and executed in under two months, the Gennum site was a significant Drupal endeavor requiring 15+ templates, 1500+ pieces of content, faceted search feature powered by Acquia, an innovative context sensitive block module, and laid the foundation for the development of the accompanying secure extranet which we will begin developing in the next few days.
“With each Drupal implementation our team impresses me more,” says Fenix Founder Jennifer MacKinnon, “and this project was no exception. The speed and sophistication with which we can deploy an enterprise class environment, complete with a complex feature-set and numerous custom components is exciting and we are happy to be able to offer this level of service, quality and professional capability to our clients.”
“Gennum Corp is a great company and we have enjoyed working directly with their team to see Phase 1 of this initiative to completion. Our two teams worked hard, but more importantly worked well together, mutually ensuring the success of this project.”
Adds Leanne Labelle, co-Founder of Fenix Solutions “Open source solutions are being more and more widely accepted, particularly by large, and international, organizations. Companies seek us out because of our Drupal and open source experience, passion and capabilities. The benefits of open source solutions are compelling and we are seeing a noticeable shift in thinking, resulting in the demand for our kind of offering deployed on open source software. It’s exciting for us to be leading this charge.”

Fenix launches online community for NHRC targeted at housing researchers
Fenix provided the NHRC with a brand new look-and-feel targeting each of their key audiences: students, researchers, and NHRC members. The site was built using the open source Drupal CMS and implemented various web 2.0 features. A key component of the website makes use of the Google Maps API and allows members to find research hubs and repositories across Canada. The site is now a great marketing tool for the NHRC, and they hope to be able to use this to promote housing research on an on-going basis.
