Drupal experts in Colombia for mission-critical government platforms

Coresis is an engineering team specialized in Drupal in Colombia. We work with State entities and with companies that operate mission-critical digital platforms: institutional portals, e-government offices, intranets, and sites with high content volume and security, accessibility, and traceability requirements.

We've implemented and sustained Drupal platforms for the Ministry of Housing, ICBF, USPEC, ICDE, Metro de Bogotá, and Corporación Colombia Digital, among other organizations.

What being Drupal experts means

Installing Drupal is easy. Sustaining an institutional Drupal platform for years, through changes in government, audits, traffic spikes, and version updates, is a different problem. Experience shows in the decisions made before writing a line of code.

Content modeling

Content types, taxonomies, and views that withstand site growth without becoming unmanageable.

Configuration before code

Solving with Drupal what Drupal already solves, and reserving custom code for what really needs it.

Editorial governance

Permissions, publishing workflows, and auditable roles so the in-house team can operate without depending on the provider.

Integrations

Connections with search engines, authentication, APIs, and internal systems without breaking maintainability.

Accessibility and SEO

Semantic HTML, metadata, mobile performance, and accessibility from the architecture, not as a final fix.

Operational continuity

Updates, change control, staging environments, and backups as part of normal operation.

Drupal specialists for the Colombian State

This is our team's main difference. A public portal in Colombia isn't judged only on design or functionality: it has to meet the GOV.CO guidelines set by MinTIC, Law 1712 of 2014 on transparency and access to public information, accessibility criteria, and Law 1581 of 2012 on personal data.

We know that framework from implementation, not theory. We work with Govimentum, the Drupal distribution created by the Bogotá city government for district entity portals, and we've documented how to approach its update in our guide on migrating Govimentum to a new Drupal version.

Services from our Drupal team

• Consulting and architecture: diagnosis of the current state, content model, technical plan, and risk-prioritized evolution path. See Drupal services.
• Custom development: components, views, forms, editorial workflows, and integrations. See Drupal development.
• Support and maintenance: security updates, bug fixes, performance, and continuous improvement. See Drupal support.
• Version migration: module and theme audit, compatibility plan, and content migration. See migration to Drupal 11.
• GOV.CO portals: implementation and support aligned with digital government guidelines.

Drupal developers with public sector experience

The team is made up of full-time Drupal developers, not profiles assigned project to project. That continuity matters: whoever builds an institutional platform is usually the one who sustains it afterward, and knowledge of the content model, integrations, and architecture decisions doesn't get lost between contracts.

Our Drupal developers in Colombia work with version control, staging environments, and code review before publishing. At a public entity, that's not a technical preference: it's the condition for every change to be traceable and reversible.

How we work

We start with a review of the platform's real state: Drupal version, contributed modules, custom code, theme, performance, security, technical SEO, accessibility, and content. That diagnosis defines a short, measurable roadmap ordered by risk, instead of a generic task list.

From there, the team can take on the full implementation, support the entity's in-house team, or take over ongoing operation, depending on the platform's maturity level and the client's capabilities.

Why choose Coresis

• Verifiable public sector experience: platforms in production for national and district entities, not just showcase projects.
• Participation in the Drupal community: our profile is published on Drupal.org.
• An engineering team, not a reseller: we develop, integrate, and operate with our own developers in Colombia.
• Focus on maintainability: we deliver platforms the client's team can keep managing.
• Knowledge of the full stack: besides Drupal, we work with NGINX, Solr, Angular, and Node.js depending on what the project requires.

You can review the details of our projects or meet the team. If you want to understand the technology before deciding, we wrote a guide on what Drupal is and why we choose it.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a team expert in Drupal?

The ability to solve with configuration what doesn't require code, model content that withstands site growth, keep the platform securely updated, and leave an operation the in-house team can manage. Experience is measured in platforms sustained over time, not in number of installations.

Do you work with State entities in Colombia?

Yes. We've implemented and sustained Drupal platforms for the Ministry of Housing, ICBF, USPEC, ICDE, and Metro de Bogotá, among others. We know GOV.CO guidelines, the transparency requirements of Law 1712 of 2014, and the accessibility criteria applicable to public portals.

Can you take over a Drupal site you didn't build?

Yes. We start with a technical audit of core, modules, theme, custom code, performance, and security, and from there we define a stabilization plan before proposing improvements or new features.

Do you work with Govimentum?

Yes. Govimentum is the Drupal distribution created by the Bogotá city government for district entity portals. We have experience implementing it and updating it to more recent versions of Drupal core.

Which Drupal versions do you work with?

We work with Drupal 10 and Drupal 11, and we carry out migrations from Drupal 7, 8, and 9 with a prior audit, a module compatibility plan, and staging validation.

Do you offer ongoing support or only one-off projects?

Both. We can run a scoped project, support the in-house team, or take on ongoing operation of the platform with updates, monitoring, and progressive improvement.

Do you work with your own Drupal developers or outsource?

With our own developers. The engineering team is in-house and takes part in both building and later operating the platform. When a project needs a specific specialty — design, content, or a particular integration — it's added to the team explicitly and under the same change control.

How much does it cost to hire Drupal experts in Colombia?

We don't publish fixed rates because the cost depends on scope: an audit with a stabilization plan, custom development, and a version migration involve very different amounts of effort. After the initial review we deliver a phased estimate, with written scope and acceptance criteria. For public entities we adapt the proposal to the applicable procurement process.

How does Drupal compare to WordPress for a public entity?

Drupal starts with a more granular permissions model, publishing workflows, and access control, and better sustains complex content models and integrations with internal systems. WordPress can be enough for communications sites with simple requirements. The decision should be based on the content model, security requirements, and who will operate the platform, not on popularity.

Can you work under State procurement?

Yes. Coresis S.A.S. is incorporated in Colombia and has delivered platforms for national and district entities. We can take part in public procurement processes and adapt to the documentary, oversight, and delivery requirements defined by the entity.
