We’re excited to share that the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) website, designed and developed by Diagram, has been named Best Enterprise Solution at the 2026 Umbraco Awards.
Presented annually at Codegarden, Umbraco’s global conference, the awards recognize the most innovative and impactful digital experiences built on the Umbraco platform. The Best Enterprise Solution category highlights projects that demonstrate exceptional technical execution, business impact, and user experience at scale.
For Diagram, the award is an exciting recognition of a project that embodies our approach to digital transformation: creating connected digital ecosystems that deliver meaningful experiences while simplifying operational complexity.
Solving a Complex Enterprise Challenge
NATP serves a large and diverse membership of tax professionals across the United States. To support its members effectively, the organization relies on a variety of systems for membership management, learning and certification, ecommerce, events, and content delivery.
Like many associations and member-based organizations, NATP faced the challenge of creating a seamless user experience across multiple platforms while maintaining flexibility and scalability behind the scenes.
Rather than forcing every capability into a single platform, the solution leveraged a composable architecture that allows best-in-class systems to work together through a unified digital experience.
At the center of that experience is Umbraco, serving as the orchestration layer that connects content, commerce, learning, membership, and business systems into a cohesive platform.
The result is a modern digital experience that feels seamless to members while providing NATP with the flexibility to evolve and scale over time.
Why the Project Stood Out
According to the Umbraco Awards judges, the NATP platform was recognized for its sophisticated integration strategy and its ability to deliver a unified experience across a complex technology ecosystem.
The project demonstrates how organizations can:
- Deliver personalized digital experiences across multiple member touchpoints
- Connect content, commerce, learning, and membership systems without creating technical debt
- Empower internal teams with flexible content management capabilities
- Create a scalable foundation for future growth and innovation
- Maintain the freedom to choose best-of-breed technologies rather than being locked into a monolithic platform
These are the same principles that guide many of Diagram’s enterprise digital transformation engagements.
A Win for Modern Associations
The challenges NATP faced are increasingly common among associations, professional organizations, and membership-based businesses.
Members expect digital experiences that are intuitive, personalized, and connected. At the same time, organizations must balance operational efficiency, technology investments, and evolving business requirements.
This award validates a strategy that many forward-thinking organizations are adopting: building flexible digital ecosystems that prioritize both user experience and long-term adaptability.
By connecting specialized platforms through a strong digital experience layer, organizations can deliver exceptional member experiences without sacrificing flexibility.
Partnership Drives Success
Award-winning projects are never the result of technology alone.
This recognition reflects the collaborative partnership between the NATP team, Diagram, and the broader technology ecosystem that helped bring the vision to life. Together, we created a platform that not only meets today’s needs but is positioned to support future growth and innovation.
We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together and honored to see the project recognized on the global Umbraco stage.
Looking Ahead
As organizations continue navigating increasingly complex digital landscapes, we’re excited to help clients build connected experiences that drive engagement, simplify operations, and create lasting business value.
With Diagram being an Umbraco Platinum Contributing Partner, winning Best Enterprise Solution is a tremendous honor, but the real success is seeing organizations like NATP better serve their members through thoughtful digital transformation.
