It has to happen at least once in a career – you find yourself facing a major website content migration.
Your enterprise situation will probably be unique. Perhaps you are replacing your content management system (CMS), and need to take a lot of content along with you, and it doesn’t look like the process can be easily automated. You might be transitioning to a responsive web design where your current content simply won’t integrate well into Smartphone or Tablet formats. You might be consolidating two or more websites, overhauling an existing information architecture (IA), deploying a new content strategy, integrating a legacy system, or (if you’re really lucky) all of the above.
These processes will all require varying levels of technical and strategic content solutions, involving everyone from to content owners and content creators to IT. We at kennedia follow the best practices to develop a successful content migration plan that can prepare you for most situations and contingencies.
