International Organization for Migration (IOM)
Overview
The CTDC is the world’s first global data repository on human trafficking, managed by the International Organization for Migration. It consolidates millions of case records from across the globe, making them accessible for analysis, research, and policy development to strengthen anti-trafficking responses.
Behind the Project
Various types of content: special offers, insider-exclusive contests, latest news, short clips, fan-generated content. Interactive exclusive content meant to bring the fans closer to their supported Toronto basketball team, inform, entertain, and engage them.Opportunities & Barriers
The previous CTDC website faced critical issues:
- Outdated Drupal modules posed security risks and blocked integration of modern features.
- Weak security measures created vulnerabilities around sensitive data.
- Poor maintainability due to inconsistent coding standards and limited documentation.
- Inefficient content workflows made updates slow and cumbersome.
- Limited search and data visualization capabilities hindered accessibility for global stakeholders.
Approach
SoftXPro executed a full redesign and redevelopment of CTDC, focusing on security, usability, performance, and scalability.
Key steps:
- Requirements Gathering - Workshops with IOM stakeholders to align on scope, goals, and success metrics.
- Modern Technology Stack - Migration to Drupal 10 with a responsive, UX-focused interface.
