Corporate And Intranet Portals for A Govt. Authentication Service Provider

Our client, a semi-government entity managing government authentication services and data centers in Africa, needed a corporate website with multi-language support, a robust CMS, and single sign-on capabilities.

We implemented Liferay DXP as the core platform, set up infrastructure on Kubernetes for scalability, and configured CI/CD pipelines with GitLab and Rancher. We customized Liferay for SSO with OpenID, enhanced search functionality, and used its fragment pages and collections for easy content management. The solution also included stylebook for consistent design across the portal and subsites.
