Drupal Migration Services

As a digital agency that works with Drupal every day, Drupal migrations are in our DNA. This was the first service we offered to our customers almost a decade ago. Having helped to build the migration framework in Drupal as an Open Source contribution, our team is ready and highly qualified to help.

Deeply involved in the Drupal community, Axelerant’s developers have migrated hundreds of diverse sites, platforms, and frameworks to Drupal while customizing for customer’s needs, such as: incremental migrations, minimal content freeze, rearchitecting content, and even selective migration of content or the cleaning up of old content.

Establishing Business Need

Like most applications, migrations are a business problem first—and we start there. It begins with empathy.

Select Your Strategy

We pick a migration strategy depending on factors like how robust the source is, the kind of transformations needed, how frequently the content gets created (in case of user-generated content), target architecture, and so on. The robustness of the source depends on how cleanly we can retrieve content and distinguish between metadata like creation dates, revision dates, owners, etc.

Testing & Implementing Migration

Once we have identified the strategy, we use Drupal’s migration framework to implement the migrations—which is powerful and flexible for a variety of combinations of source, destination, and their corresponding mappings or transformations. These migrations are regularly tested before being used for incremental or one-time migration.

Monitoring & Adjustments

During execution, the migrations are run in a controlled environment, depending on the strategy we pick, and monitored for performance and problems.

Sitecore To Drupal

We start by conducting a content analysis of your Sitecore application. Next, we create the new Drupal content architecture, prepare the necessary mapping, and speed up the migration process using existing APIs. Our Sitecore to Drupal migration ensures improved performance, SEO, accessibility, and user interface (UI) elements.

SharePoint To Drupal

We start SharePoint to Drupal migration using web API to quickly access, extract, and convert the CMS data to CSV or JSON. A middleware for data interchange can also be utilized, giving your team a chance to clean up the data before it is imported into Drupal.

WordPress To Drupal

We use community-accepted and thoroughly researched technologies to extract content from WordPress and move it to Drupal for a smooth migration within the planned timeline. With everything Drupal has to offer, all the content you have produced over the years will be accessible in the new CMS. This gives your team plenty of potential to expand while providing users with the content they already know and love.
