Client Info
Knowledge Network is British Columbia's public broadcaster, delivering educational and arts programming through streaming and television platforms. As a Crown Corporation, they process millions in donations annually while serving content to viewers across the province. What started as a request for "a little help" with migration evolved into a comprehensive technical partnership.

Promet Source offers world-class project management. They’re the best organization I’ve ever worked with.
What We Did
When Knowledge Network's lead developer departed during a critical phase of their Drupal 7 migration, we stepped in to manage the project. Our team tackled the complex task of rewriting 30 custom modules for Drupal 9 while maintaining integrations with multiple third-party systems. The project expanded to include plans for cloud hosting migration and potential transition to headless Drupal.
Technical Precision
We successfully rewrote dozens of custom modules that power Knowledge Network's unique broadcasting and donation processing needs. Our team maintained the complex functionality while upgrading the technology, ensuring viewers and donors experienced no disruption.
Smart Resource Management
Instead of rushing to hire new staff during a critical transition, Knowledge Network found that our team offered more depth and flexibility than individual employees could provide. This approach helped them meet their public sector budget requirements while getting better results.
Reliable Partnership
What began as a 50-hour support contract grew into a lasting technical partnership. Our team consistently delivers solutions for complex challenges, from API integrations to custom module development, proving that the right partner can be more valuable than internal hires.
The Result
Through careful project management and technical expertise, we've kept Knowledge Network's complex platform running smoothly while modernizing their infrastructure. The organization now has a reliable technical partner they trust to handle everything from routine maintenance to major system transitions.
