Transforming businesses with high-impact software solutions and unparalleled customer service.
Apex Systems
Managing thousands of jobs across 70+ global markets, Apex Systems faced critical performance and functionality issues with their 3rd-party job search platform. Slow page refresh times and the lack of an effective location-based search were impacting user experience for job seekers. Real-time job synchronization failures meant filled positions remained visible on the site, misleading candidates and creating inefficiencies for recruiters.
Alliant Communities
Alliant Communities needed a digital presence matching their market leadership, as their existing CMS couldn't showcase their expanded capabilities in affordable housing. The CMS required customization to support their structure where staff and properties spanned multiple divisions. Having developed over 25,000 units and managing billions in assets, streamlined content management improved efficiency and better represented their brand.
LA Bureau of Street Services
StreetsLA faced a critical technology challenge that was impacting both their public-facing operations and internal efficiency. Their existing website was built on Drupal 7, a content management system reaching end-of-life, creating significant security and maintenance risks. The visual design was outdated and reflected poorly on the organization's brand as a forward-thinking public works department.
HAPI at UCLA
The Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI) at UCLA relied on a system of Excel spreadsheets, printouts, legacy PERL scripts, and physical filing to manage their indexing operations. With no centralized digital workflow or validation, the system was inefficient, error-prone, and difficult to maintain. [iS2 Digital] was hired to reverse-engineer and replicate the system digitally, capturing business logic and streamlining internal workflows.
The Ash Group
The Ash Group's sales team relied on two critical but disconnected systems: Salesloft for outbound sales marketing and automation, and Bullhorn as their CRM and source of truth. Sales activities performed in Salesloft required manual data entry into Bullhorn to maintain unified records. This manual process created inefficiencies, introduced human error, and consumed valuable time that could be better spent on relationship building and revenue generation.
LA Department of City Planning
The Los Angeles Department of City Planning's zoning code portal was started on a platform approaching its end-of-life and could no longer provide the support expected of critical government infrastructure. Upgrading was urgent: the city had adopted a new Zoning Code in late 2024, with the Downtown Community Plan Area going into effect in early 2025, and the department needed a platform capable of supporting updated regulations at launch.
American Camp Association
The American Camp Association (ACA) envisioned a powerful yet user-friendly Find a Camp web application to serve multiple audiences, including Camp Directors, Association administrators, and, most importantly, parents searching for the right camp experience for their families. The platform had to be intuitive, responsive, on budget, and scalable to accommodate evolving user expectations and technological advancements.
Ethnic Studies Library, UC Berkeley
The Ethnic Studies Library at the University of California, Berkeley needed to urgently upgrade their custom digital indexing platform, originally built in a version of Drupal that had reached its End of Life. This upgrade needed to be completed on budget and on deadline, and included a secure, scalable, and high-performance migration—while maintaining all content, metadata, and user relationships without error, disruption, or data loss.
Reeve Foundation
The Reeve Foundation faced a critical data integration challenge. Their custom CRM and HubSpot marketing platform contained overlapping information for the same individuals creating potential for data duplication and workflow inefficiencies. The marketing team lacked access to the comprehensive relationship histories stored in the CRM, and a standard integration risked creating duplicate records and fragmenting record relationships.
Los Angeles Fire Department
The City of Los Angeles needed a real-time, city-wide alert system to efficiently deliver critical notifications. In 2014, [iS2 Digital] partnered with the Fundamental Design Group to develop the initial solution using Drupal 7, providing seamless, real-time alerts for six years. In 2020, the team led a migration to Everbridge alongside upgrades to Drupal 8, 9, and 10, incorporating enhanced security, performance, and advanced custom alert functionality.
North Peak
For staffing firms managing hundreds of job listings, the standard search experience has become a measurable liability. Conventional keyword search, even enhanced with location filters and faceted navigation, requires candidates to know exactly what to search for and returns results that rarely match actual needs. The search experience, long treated as a commodity feature, had become a bottleneck in both candidate acquisition and placement quality.
Sir Speedy
Sir Speedy, along with its parent company, Franchise Services, needed to enhance its mobile presence to better serve customers and streamline operations. A key requirement was creating a systems architecture which could be easily adapted across Franchise Services' other brands, including PIP and Signal Graphics. The project demanded a very quick turnaround while maintaining exceptional quality and functionality.
