Great Ideas Need to Work in the Real World
Digital experiences work when users trust the outcome. That trust, in turn, hinges on more than what they see on the screen. It demands data accuracy, platform reliability, seamless connections between systems, and security, privacy and accessibility safeguards built into it.
Pare & Co provides engineering and integration for healthcare, public sector, enterprise technology and other organizations with complex digital ecosystems. We build, connect and modernize the technology behind digital experiences so it’s secure, reliable, scalable and ready to perform.
Turning the Plan into the Platform
Engineering is where strategy, experience and technology come together. The right architecture must account for what people experience on the front end and what teams, systems and processes require behind the scenes.
This means making decisions not what to build, but how systems connect, how content moves, how the platform performs and how easily it can evolve.
| What Does the Platform Need to Do? | What We Examine |
|---|---|
| What’s the best technology to run on? | CMS, cloud infrastructure and architecture |
| What does it need to connect to? | CRM, DAM, analytics, marketing automation and product data |
| How will supporting systems work together? | APIs, integrations and data exchange |
| How do we ensure it performs at scale? | Speed, load, reliability and multisite requirements |
| How will it stay safe and compliant? | Security, privacy, accessibility and automated testing |
| How will it evolve? | Maintainability, migrations and composable architecture |
The Technology Behind the Experience
Most digital platforms aren’t a single piece of technology. They’re an ecosystem of platforms, applications, data and services that must work seamlessly together. Pare brings the engineering disciplines together so the entire system works as one.
CMS development
Drupal, WordPress, Contentful and Payload implementation and development.
Composable and headless architecture
Flexible architectures that separate systems and services where doing so makes the platform easier to evolve.
Systems integration
Connections across CRM, DAM, marketing automation, analytics and product data.
Custom development and APIs
Modules, plugins and secure APIs that extend functionality without making platforms harder to maintain.
Cloud infrastructure
Setup and deployment across AWS, Azure and Acquia Cloud.
Performance and load testing
Speed, stability and capacity testing against real-world traffic and demands.
Security, privacy and compliance
Engineering for data protection, accessibility, cookie consent and other compliance requirements.
Automated testing and quality assurance
Accessibility, performance and security checks built into the development pipeline so they happen every time code ships.
Platform and CMS migrations
Platform changes, content migration and validation at scale, with cutovers designed to avoid downtime.
Multisite and shared platforms
Common infrastructure and codebases that support multiple sites, brands or organizations.
Search
Search implementation and optimization using Algolia, SearchStax and native platform search.
Commerce and payments
Digital commerce and payment integrations using Quivers, Drupal Commerce and Stripe.
Identity and access
Login and single sign-on using platforms such as Okta and Auth0.
Multilingual experiences
Technical infrastructure for delivering and managing content across languages.
DevOps
Infrastructure as code, edge security, monitoring and CI/CD pipelines using Cloudflare and New Relic.
Drupal Development
Drupal migrations, content modeling, custom modules and multisite platforms on Acquia, Pantheon and Upsun.
Contentful Implementation
Contentful migration, content modeling, space architecture and governance with Next.js front ends.

Built to Hold Up
Reliability, security and accessibility aren’t checks that happen after development is finished. Pare builds them into the engineering process itself.
We build automated accessibility, performance and security checks into the development pipeline so they run whenever code ships. We also consider maintainability in the choices we make about architecture, integrations, modules and plugins.
How Engineering & Integration Advances Key Business Outcomes
Engineering & Integration plays an important role in Trust and Engagement. Secure, reliable and accessible technology builds confidence, while performance and functionality directly affect people’s ability to use and engage with a digital experience.
It also supports Growth, particularly when an outdated platform, disconnected systems or a difficult migration is preventing an organization from moving forward.
