The Results

An ‘Exceptional’ Solution

Our team ensured every piece of data was aligned with the rules of the migration. This included resolving any inconsistent files, therefore guaranteeing that the migration would be successful.

Enhanced Content Quality

All the items were successfully transformed with WCAG compliance standards while enhancing the quality of all content items and digital assets.

Reduced Business Downtime

The ‘phased migration’ and ‘delta management’ proved useful for the client's internal departments to transition into their new environment at their own pace.
