01. Background
Intralinks is a cloud-based financial technology provider serving banking, dealmaking, and capital markets professionals worldwide. Its platform supports secure information exchange and cross-organizational collaboration for high-stakes transactions, so its web presence has to stay fast, stable, and available across regions.
Matech CO partnered with Intralinks to manage and evolve its Drupal platform, from front-end architecture and hosting to search and ongoing feature delivery, while integrating third-party services across its digital ecosystem.
02. Challenges
Moving from CSS Injector to a native SCSS pipeline caused UI inconsistencies in certain regions. Given the updated assets, they also failed to propagate uniformity.
Upgrading to Drupal 11 required handling deprecated modules and breaking API changes without disrupting live functionality.
Our experts moved the full site from Acquia to Pantheon, which had to happen with no disruption or data loss, while preserving all configurations.
Intralinks wanted us to replace Acquia Search with SOLR, adding infrastructure complexity to an already in-progress project and requiring accurate re-indexing.
03. Requirements
- SCSS Migration – Matech CO was expected to convert all CSS Injector styles into a native SCSS architecture compiled locally with Node.js. The work included validating consistent rendering across regions and browsers, and setting up proper cache invalidation.
- Drupal 11 Upgrade – Upgraded the platform to Drupal 11 through full module compatibility audits and replacing deprecated APIs. We also ran phased regression testing at each stage, ensuring live functionality was never at risk.
- Feature Delivery – All work was tracked through a structured delivery pipeline and monitored against defined performance standards to keep the site fast. We continued feature enhancements throughout every migration and upgrade.
- Pantheon Migration – Our experts had to move their full site from Acquia to Pantheon. We preserved all configurations and verified site integrity, so users experienced no interruption at any stage.
- SOLR Search – Transitioned search from Acquia Search to SOLR, with accurate re-indexing of all content. End-to-end post-migration testing confirmed that criteria-based results stayed relevant and reliable.

05. Solutions
Every part of this project was handled meticulously so that the live functionality platform could not be disrupted.
Our team refactored all CSS Injector styles into a modular SCSS codebase, compiled it with Node.js, tested it across regions and browsers, and configured cache invalidation, so updates reached every Akamai edge node consistently.
The migration to Drupal 11 followed in phases, with module compatibility audits, deprecated API replacements, and regression testing at each stage to keep production stable.
For Acquia-to-Pantheon, we preserved all configurations, data, and site integrity with no user interruption, and moved search from Acquia Search to SOLR, with careful re-indexing and end-to-end testing to deliver relevant, criteria-based results.
Feature enhancements kept shipping the whole time through a structured delivery pipeline, monitored against agreed performance standards. Today, Intralinks runs on a faster, more stable, and more scalable platform.
06. Results
40% more reliable hosting after the move to Pantheon.
60% improvement in platform stability after the Drupal 11 upgrade.
70% improvement in search accuracy and relevance with SOLR.
