Add Egressive Ltd in the Drupal service directory

Egressive is a Drupal development, support, training, and hosting business based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Qualifications

We've got a small, very experienced development team who have been implementing Drupal (and maintaining and upgrading it) since Drupal 4.6. The substantial majority of our 100+ commercial implementations are Drupal 6.

We offer

• Drupal theme development - our star designer, Josh, is well versed in both concept design and solid theme layout and styling. We use well established base themes (mostly Zen) and can provide advanced customisations if required.
• Drupal site implementations - we build and host a LOT of Drupal sites, and have invested heavily in our deployment and site management tools to provide a superior match to customer requirements combined with pro-active site maintenance and security service.
• NZ Gov't web standards compliant Drupal sites - we've implemented sites using Drupal for NZ government organisations which comply with NZ's e-govt web standards, e.g. like http://acoustics.nzta.govt.nz.
• Drupal external webservice integration - we're all software developers here, we have a lot of experience integrating Drupal both with bespoke applications (e.g. financial systems, automated weather reporting devices, membership databases, directory services, etc.) and web services like Twitter, Secure Paytech, Mailchimp, etc., and even helping service providers develop webservice APIs to allow our sites to interfaces with them...
• Drupal module and feature development - we've developed scores of modules - most sites have at least one. Many have more.
• Drupal rich interface applications - we are increasingly building highly functional applications on top of Drupal with rich (advanced jQuery and SVG or Canvas-driven interfaces). See, for example the PRUB tool on http://openstrategies.com - or the demo: http://demo.prubit.com

Community Participation

We've contributed the following modules back:

• Role Contact - http://drupal.org/project/rolecontact
• Path Rules - http://drupal.org/project/pathrules
• Organic Groups LDAP/Active Directory Integration - http://drupal.org/project/og_ldap
• Organic Groups Member Inherit - http://drupal.org/project/og_member_inherit
• Organic Groups Default - http://drupal.org/project/og_defaults

We also have a feature server on http://code.egressive.com which offers over a dozen additional features, modules, and themes.

Services to the Drupal Community

Egressive, one of quite a few commercial Drupal developers in NZ, set up (in conjunction with a hackfest we hosted) and continues to host Drupal.net.nz which promotes any/all Drupal developers who create an account and a profile. It provides essentially the same service as this section of Drupal.org, but targeting the New Zealand market.

Egressive Director, Dave Lane, does a weekly radio technology interview which focuses on Free and Open Source software, and a number of interviews have focused on Drupal in comparison with other web technologies. Podcasts for past interviews are available either on http://egressive.com/resources/interviews or http://plainsfm.org.nz/podcasts/zone/mornings-zone and search the page for "Egressive".

Sponsorship

Egressive has helped to organise and has sponsored both of the two "DrupalSouth" developer conferences to date. Egressive also hosts both the websites:
