KNIME AG

Corporate & Community Website

KNIME AG is a software company that offers solutions for interactive data analysis. KNIME's core product is a free open source software tool around which a global community has formed over time. In addition to this basic product, the KNIME Analytics Platform, KNIME offers suitable paid extensions (usage licenses, SaaS). KNIME's programs are mainly used in pharmaceutical research or, for example, by telecommunications and industrial companies for customer relationship management (CRM), Business Intelligence or financial data analysis.

EUR 20 million growth financing

KNIME AG anticipates excellent business prospects for the future. This is also one reason why the Invus Group has provided EUR 20 million in investment capital for the further development of the software and for the growth of the company.

MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

The website www.knime.com is not only a marketing tool and web store (for software licenses and eBooks), but above all the central point of contact for the KNIME community. The website is also used to manage the daily, worldwide downloads of the free KNIME Analytics Platform.

In the first step, however, Tojio's website was not redesigned conceptually and creatively, but purely technically. The switch from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 was time-critical, as support for Drupal 6 and other software components used had come to an end.

 

 

Phase 1: Data migration D6 > D8, responsive web design, performance hosting

  • Migration of two different Drupal 6 websites with blog, store and heavily used forum (approx. 25,000 users) to a new, responsive Drupal 8 site
  • Merging and automatic comparison of the files from both sources
  • Unification of linked resources (links, files, images): Insertion as data entities
  • Complex pre-processing during migration with self-written plugins, migrate_tools and migrate_plus
  • Integration of various external documentation, download and update services
  • Drupal as a single sign-on solution for external services for collaboration on the open source project
  • Hosting with automated deployment on AWS + Amazon Cloudfront as a content delivery network
  • Responsive web design with BS3

Phase 2: Content, design, backend optimization and expansion stages

For the future, KNIME needs a contemporary new website that is appropriate for the brand. A website that faces up to its direct competitors and also does justice to the current status and future prospects of the company and its target groups. Following the functional, technical implementation, the content will now be revised, restructured and optimized. The following services are planned or "in progress" for the second phase ...

  • Info architecture: changes / restructuring
  • Corporate design management
  • New web design / front-end development (usability, UX, UI)
  • Design patterns (SASS / CSS architecture)
  • Responsive web design tuning
  • Website Theme (Living Style Guide / Pattern Library)
  • Backend optimizations
  • Features / Nice-to-Have's
  • etc. ...
