Case Study: Brainshark - Migration from Sitecore in 90 days

Existing Site Challenges

• No support and maintenance
• Security risks
• Poor template implementation resulted in design constraints
• Not user friendly
• No batch/bulk item publishing
• Licensing model
• Re-directs problematic
• Didn’t want to host themselves
• Maintenance issues
• No wide adoption so finding the right people was a problem

Business Needs

• Change CMS
• Rebrand
  • Move to Drupal
  • Re-skin
  • Re-do whole site
• Templatized and not coding every page

Migrations

• Sitecore does things differently than Drupal
• Sitecore maps links/media by proprietary internal ID
• Design package within sitecore that contained all links/media
• Create custom migration script
• Items migrated
  • Homepage
  • Pages linked from home, nav and footer
  • Company pages
  • Blog
