Bristol-based digital agency Microserve has won a competitive tender for a three-year web development contract with Oxford University’s internationally recognised Saïd Business School.
The Drupal expert consultancy will work alongside the business school’s in-house team on all digital design, user experience and strategy work.
Microserve will also help shape and inform the school’s long-term Drupal web objectives and roadmap. Drupal is the world’s leading enterprise-level open-source content management system (CMS).
Microserve, which was founded in 2004 and is based in Colston Tower in the city centre, has more Drupal developer certifications than any UK digital agency. It has worked with a wide range of big-name clients including WWF, YHA (Youth Hostel Association) and Aviva.
It clinched the Saïd Business School deal following a competitive multi-agency pitch process,
Saïd Business School has nine Drupal websites for external, student and staff usage including five described as ‘business critical’.
Microserve managing director Dan McNamara, pictured, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with the fantastic team at Saïd Business School and to have kicked off the relationship in such a positive and collaborative fashion.
“The School is a really inspiring organisation with a clear sense of purpose and ambitious objectives over the next few years. We’re really looking forward to showing what a big impact our technical expertise and strategic insight can have on those objectives.”

We are delighted to be working together with Microserve.”
