Sitecore to Sitefinity Migration - Speeding Up the Content Team

Sitecore to Sitefinity Migration - Speeding Up the Content Team for a Website Migration

How Eveliko rapidly configured a new Sitefinity environment and migrated reusable content from Sitecore to unblock a content team - including a creative workaround for a complex content duplication challenge that significantly reduced the overall project timeline.

Blocked Content Team Waiting on Sitefinity Setup and Reusable Content Migration from Sitecore

Urgent Need to Unblock the Content Team

The client had an existing Sitecore instance with multiple websites and urgently needed a new Sitefinity website configured and ready so their content team could begin populating it - any delay in setup directly blocked the entire content migration effort.

Reusable Content Locked in Sitecore

A significant portion of the content to be used in the new Sitefinity website already existed in Sitecore and needed to be migrated first, before the content team could begin their custom population work - creating a hard dependency that put the project timeline at risk.

Complex Content Duplication Constraint

The client had a specific organisational need to duplicate content from one existing website to another that had already been created and could not simply be deleted and recreated, presenting a technical challenge with no straightforward out-of-the-box solution.

Rapid Sitefinity Setup, Content Migration, and Custom Workaround to Accelerate Delivery

Structured Planning and Architecture Preparation

Eveliko conducted multiple planning sessions covering project scope, timelines, resource requirements, architecture, content structure, and migration strategies - ensuring the team had a clear roadmap before any development began.

Rapid Sitefinity Environment Setup and Content Migration

The team quickly configured the new Sitefinity website and migrated the reusable content from Sitecore, removing the blocker and enabling the content team to begin their custom population work without further delay.

Custom Workaround for Content Duplication

Eveliko developed a targeted workaround to address the client's specific constraint - successfully moving content between existing websites without the ability to delete and recreate them. This single activity was reported by the client to have reduced the overall project timeline by two weeks.

Lean Quality Assurance Strategy

A quality assurance strategy was planned and implemented in collaboration with the QA team, applying lean methodologies to ensure fast turnaround while maintaining the required standards across all migrated components and features.
