Migration
Blend Interactive has over 15 years of experience moving sites from one content management system to another — it's part of our very DNA.
CMS migration: it's in our DNA.
If your Web CMS is not serving your needs, moving your site to a new CMS may be essential. But a CMS migration is often underestimated, under-budgeted, and not well planned. Blend can help by:
- Creating a plan around choosing what content is to be migrated.
- Auditing current design and content model to ensure content is migrated correctly and within brand standards.
- Developing a content model to accept existing content — and identifying where issues may arise.
- Preparing for and performing automated migrations.
- Providing governance planning and assistance with manual migration.
Our migration experience.
Blend has experience migrating from and into dozens of different CMSes, including migrating from:
- Ektron to Optimizely/Episerver
- Wordpress to Optimizely/Episerver
- Ektron to Drupal
- Home-grown CMS to Sitecore
- Home-grown CMS to Optimizely/Episerver
- Static HTML to Optimizely/Episerver
Additionally, we've pulled content from various integrations into Optimizely (formerly Episerver), from PHP-based forums to Folio magazine content.
