If a company decides to completely rebuild its content management system as part of a relaunch - for example, switching from TYPO3 to Drupal 8 - a detailed migration concept is essential.
The main purpose of a successful content migration is to maintain and ideally optimize the existing SEO performance and page content. To this end, all existing data is first analyzed in order to correct inconsistencies in the data structure, identify important data and filter out irrelevant content. Once the data has been cleansed and normalized, the content is adapted to the new structure of the CMS. This process forms the basis for the future expandability and problem-free editorial maintenance of the system. Once the new models have been created in the web system , the final step is to transfer the content to the new data structure.
.FUF has many years of experience in the migration of data from previous systems and knows that the transfer of existing content always involves particular risks. Thanks to its sophisticated development and testing infrastructure, Frank und Freunde is able to identify problems with data migrations at an early stage and create cost-effective migration paths.
Overview of the Data Migration Process:
- Analysis of existing content for process optimization
- Consulting and development of the migration concept in collaboration with the customer
- Standardization and enrichment of the data
- Transferring or merging the content into a new data model (e.g. in Drupal)
- Extensive testing and monitoring based on the technical documentation
