Kapow Software enables quick and cost effective content migration into SDL Tridion
Kapow allows companies to more accurately and reliably complete enterprise-grade migrations in a fraction of the time and cost due to its robust automation capabilities. The solution's intuitive visual point-and-click Interactive Development Environment (IDE) enables surgical data extraction of all content formats, including static HTML pages, as well as cleansing and standardization of all content through its powerful data transformation functionality. In addition, Kapow Technologies' certified connector to the SDL Tridion WCM system further speeds and eases loading of legacy data by eliminating the need for hand coding to APIs.
Featured Customer Success Stories in Content Migration with SDL Tridion:
Challenge
- TD Insurance needed to migrate 6,000 pages of content into a new Tridion CMS system.
- Manual content migration was too costly and time consuming.
Solution
- They used Kapow to extract source content and break it down into component parts.
- Data was transformed into a structure that could be easily consumed by the Tridion loader.
Results
- Using Kapow, they were able to migrate 90% of the content automatically.
- The new system was up and running in about 3 months.
For TDC Online, one of Denmark's top 5 portals, content migration with Kapow went 10X faster and required one quarter of the resources of competing solutions.
Challenge
- TDC Online was based on static web pages. More than 5,000 articles were stored in separate files, making the portal's operations difficult and expensive.
- They decided to transition to a dynamic CMS, but this raised the challenge of migrating content while keeping the portal up and running.
- They considered hiring temp staff to do the transfer manually, but it was too time consuming. They also considered a dedicated integration application, but their site lacked the coherence and structure to make a single application feasible.
Solution
- Kapow's technology enables complex integration into systems through the web browser. This was an advantage for TDC Online because all the pages stored “in a heap” as files on the system appeared structured and consistent in the browser.
- Going through the front-end also meant the integration process could be conducted without interfering with existing system functions.
Results
- 1 person using Kapow's technology, transferred the same number of articles in 2-3 days that 3 or 4 people could do in 3 weeks.
- Using a quarter of the resources they solved the problem 10 times faster.
- The content migration was carried out without disrupting IT or creative staff.
With Kapow, the APA's content migration to SDL Tridion required no code and no content freeze.
Challenge
- To improve the usability of their public website (www.apa.org) and reduce the cost and complexity of web management, the APA needed to consolidate content from multiple websites, centralize web functions and streamline web operations.
- Traditional content migration methods were too costly and time-consuming.
Solution
- Siteworx implemented the SDL Tridion WCM solution and used a content migration solution from Kapow to transfer almost 20,000 of content assets from the legacy site.
- No coding was required for content migration.
Results
- Implemented a cutting-edge site that helps visitors access accurate content intuitively and quickly.
- Met their launch objectives to streamline processes and reduce the cost and complexity of web management.
