If your aging, inflexible content management system is to blame for poor site performance, non-stop content workflow delays, and content creator frustration over its usability, consider “cutting the CMS cord.” And moving to a more agile solution that better supports your digital strategy.
We know migrating a website or tech stack is a daunting task. For large businesses with dozens of sites, thousands of web pages, and extensive content libraries, “getting it right” means knowing the risks and pitfalls—and what business success really looks like.
Fortunately, for our live session Everything You Need to Know About Migrating to WordPress VIP, we’ve assembled a trio of migration experts who’ve seen it all and successfully led migrations across the globe.
Key takeaways:
- What you need to know (and watch out for) when moving from self-hosted WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, or bespoke CMSes to an enterprise-grade WordPress infrastructure—from scoping the project and setting realistic project timelines to aligning stakeholders for success.
- Deep technical considerations for any migration, from design and taxonomy, managing SEO, data export, and image optimization to article mapping—so you can avoid “timeline blowouts.”
- Key benefits organizations realize—like better handling of traffic spikes, content optimization, and democratizing the publishing process—by migrating to WordPress VIP, a secure, agile, and scalable CMS.
