Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI)

Organic Materials Research Institute

Another large scale project by Freelock Computing, the Organic Materials Research Institute tested our abilities to work with a variety of sources and the Drupal system. The project brought their old public facing website built on PHP to the Drupal CMS and is still synced nightly with their internal master database built on Access. Using a variety of import scripts, highly configured Views, Ubercart role purchasing, multiple custom modules, a large number of roles with varying access levels, over 15,000 nodes, and 5 different looks based on the part of the site being accessed, this seemingly simply Drupal 6 project is anything but.

Serving a large number of Organic Suppliers, Farmers, and Certifiers, OMRI will be able to serve their customers information in a faster, more comprehensive way than the previous site could offer thanks to Drupal.

Customer Feedback

I recommend you use Linux for your server(s). Mine are so reliable, it shocked me that after years of Microsoft-based expectations, I have no complaints now after many many years experience with Linux servers supporting a mixed Win2K and Apple OSX workstation network. Freelock has really opened my eyes to what I should be expecting from enterprise software. Linux is simply much better than anything Microsoft has done, and even on Microsoft's best day, Microsoft is too expensive, too proprietary and too unreliable. There is just no reason to keep putting ourself through that grief, constant change, and endless high cost.
