A leading supplier faced a mission-critical content management migration from Drupal 7 to WordPress
Our solutions team was approached to execute a mission-critical content management system migration for a prominent organization in the building materials sector. The project demanded a complete transition from a legacy platform to a modern, scalable website solution under a tight one-week deadline. Despite challenges such as time zone differences and initial constraints on system access, the team coordinated proactively, audited the legacy environment, mapped all content assets, and developed a structured migration plan.
The Business Needs
Understanding the Needs of Client
Client required an urgent migration of its existing website from Drupal 7 to WordPress to ensure continued security, performance stability, and ease of content management. Their Drupal 7 platform was approaching end-of-life support, which posed potential risks related to security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and long-term scalability.
Additionally, the website needed a more modern, responsive, and user-friendly interface to support contractors, builders, and project managers who regularly browse product details, check branch locations, and inquire about deliveries. The client emphasized the importance of ensuring 100% content and media accuracy during migration, as the website serves as a core resource for operational and supply-chain communication.
A major challenge in the project was the tight one-week delivery timeline, combined with time zone differences and limited initial access to website credentials. Despite the urgency, Client needed a smooth, error-free migration with no disruption to live services, ensuring business continuity and maintaining customer trust.
About Our Client: Client is a leading supplier of drywall, insulation, steel framing, and ceiling systems across Western Canada. With multiple branches and a large-scale delivery fleet, the brand is known for its reliability, industry expertise, and strong logistics capabilities, serving contractors, builders, and developers for decades.
