The Challenge
Migration of a very large amount of data from WebMatrix to WordPress. Faceted search, with good control. Design & development based on static design concepts. A paywall block that integrates to Abacus ADvance.
The Solution
Custom scripts to handle the migration. Interactive UX from flat design concepts. Implementation of paywall support to integrate with ADvance CRM. Elasticsearch features integrated full support for synonyms and abbreviations, as controlled by the client
Interconnect are relied upon as our subject matter experts and consultants. A truly great team to work with.
Migration to WordPress
When moving from one CRM platform to another, a key part of the project is always going to be handling the data migration. This time we were migrating from Webvision to WordPress. The Lawyer website contains a particularly large amount of content going back many years, adding a high-risk factor to the migration process. We used our in-house developed scripts as part of the solution to deliver this crucial aspect of the project.
