Garlock is a multinational manufacturer of high-performance fluid sealing and pipeline solutions with an emphasis on safety, longevity, and productivity. Working in partnership with customers, industry associations, and governmental entities they address unique sealing challenges with innovative solutions that keep people safe while increasing profitability.
With a history dating back over 125 years, Garlock maintains a global presence of manufacturing and distribution facilities and pride themselves on unprecedented responsiveness and ingenuity.
With the rapid developments and changes of the COVID-19 outbreak Garlock found an increased need to communicate with their staff in order to both address their questions as well as their client's questions. Given the sensitive nature of this information they also needed a way to do so that was secure and password protected.
They first turned to Sharepoint, but quickly discovered a limitation in that only employees with logins would have access to the information, which was only about 50% of their team. With time of the essence they needed another solution and they needed it quickly to continue to provide the level support they are known for.
Having worked with our team on various complex projects, Garlock reached out to see if we could assist.
As they shared the issues they were experiencing with Microsoft Teams and Sharepoint, along with their end goal, we immediately knew that we could help.
One reason we were able to know this so quickly is because we have worked seamlessly with both the marketing at IT departments at Garlock for years, and the working relationship has always been collaborative.
Since Garlock is running an up to date Drupal 7 instance hosted on Platform.sh we decided to use the Protected Pages Module to secure a set of URLs for Garlock to use in order to create pages for internal communications.
Further, since the Garlock team is one of our most savvy clients, we were able to not only work together quickly but remotely direct the Garlock team on how to take the pages to the finish line.
In less than 24 hours from contacting us Garlock was able to provide secure, password protected pages that 100% of their employees could access.
This allowed the Garlock team to share time sensitive COVID-19 informational documents, downloadable PDFs and informations videos that were critical to effectively communicating both internally and externally with clients.
This could not have been achieved without the strong collaborative relationship that has been formed between One Cloud Media and Garlock or the ability of the our team to respond so quickly with a solution.
