I have studied computer science and worked as a software engineer and architect in several industries like finance and logistics for almost 15 years. Within these years I become an expert in programming with Java. In 2018, I have started developing with Drupal for bitegra Solution, which I founded with two colleagues.

User role evolution by adding Drupal Commerce to existing portal

Drupal is so much more than a web content management system. Based on its modular architecture,
building digital solutions is not only possible but embeds Drupal into an eco-system of digital services and processes.
This demo shows the evolution of user roles and how Drupal becomes a powerful digital ecosystem.

On our real estate portal we have the following backend roles, who deliver content and services to the portal:

* Manager: Delivery content and info
* Agent: Rental Object Services

We also have front-end roles like public visitors or (commercial) tenants. They can log in and consume digital services.

By adding Drupal Commerce and an online shop for a commercial tenant, we automatically have new roles.
The bakery user becomes a commercial vendor. The other tenants become customers by using the Drupal Commerce shop to buy bakery products.
The demo contains a brief overview of the public website as an anonymous user. Then a tenant performs a login and now all
digital services are available like receiving documents or creating support tickets. They now have access to the bakery
online shop as well and can place orders. Next, we log in with the role of the commercial vendor. Again,
we will see another service available. This user has access to the orders, which his customers have placed.
Finally, the configuration of Drupal Commerce is shown, which is in fact very simple.

Add Drupal Commerce Shop to existing real estate tenant portal

The customer, a real estate enterprise, is already running a Drupal web portal. It contains a Website with an integrated,
module-based tenant portal integrating a multi-channel service desk and digital signage as a universal process-oriented solution.
The portal uses a general data model with data imported by the customer's backend system. A commercial tenant
already uses this portal for communicating with real estate managers. Now this user wants to offer his bakery products on the same
Drupal platform.

Because of the huge amount out of Drupal features, it was obvious to offer the products of that bakery to other tenants,
who use the portal as well. So the main goal was to integrate an online delivery service into the real estate Drupal portal.
By the usage of Drupal Commerce it is possible to create an additional digital service in a very short time and with less effort.

With Drupal Commerce enabled it was easy to build an online shop for the bakery, who is now able to offer products to the other
tenants. This session shows, Drupal is so much more than a web content management system. Based on its modular architecture,
building digital solutions is not only possible but embeds Drupal into an eco-system of digital services and processes.
This empowers customers, who may have trusted Drupal mainly in their effort for marketing advantages, to be successful in all
aspects of their own digital transformation supported by Drupal technology.
