Multi-Vendor Sitecore to Sitefinity Migration for a Prominent Investor in the Middle East

How Eveliko provided technical leadership and migration expertise in a complex multi-vendor Sitecore to Sitefinity project for a prominent Middle East investor, covering public and internal websites, custom business logic, data migrations, and cross-team coordination.

Sitefinity CMS Sitecore

Complex Multi-Vendor Migration of Public and Internal Sitecore Websites with Custom Business Logic

Complex Multi-Vendor Migration Scope

The project involved migrating multiple Sitecore website instances to Sitefinity, encompassing a mix of public and internal websites, custom business logic, and additional services - all of which had to be executed concurrently alongside other vendors migrating their respective components.

Custom User Database Outside the System

Users requiring access to the platform were stored in a separate custom database, adding a significant layer of technical complexity to the migration and requiring a tailored approach to user management and authentication.

High Coordination and Leadership Demands

Managing a multi-vendor project of this scale required strong technical leadership, structured project organisation, and careful stakeholder management to ensure all teams remained aligned and the migration progressed without disruption.

Technical Leadership, Migration Expertise, and Cross-Vendor Coordination

Technical Leadership and Client Guidance

Eveliko took on the role of technical leader throughout the engagement - setting the overall go-live strategy, consulting the client and other vendor teams, making critical architectural decisions, and resolving technical challenges as they arose.

State-of-the-Art Migration Tool and Data Migration Expertise

The team utilised a purpose-built migration tool to handle complex data migrations, validating its reliability by successfully leading migration efforts for another vendor's projects and ensuring a seamless transition of content and data to Sitefinity.

Architecture, Development, and Performance Optimisation

Eveliko actively participated in the development process, contributing to architecture design, performance optimisation, and feature implementation - ensuring the migrated platform met the technical and functional requirements of the organisation.

Project Organisation and Stakeholder Coordination

The team took the initiative to organise project activities including task distribution, team coordination, sign-offs, and deployments - improving collaboration, streamlining processes, and keeping the project aligned with stakeholder expectations.

Knowledge Transfer and Cross-Vendor Collaboration

Eveliko facilitated comprehensive knowledge transfer to the project team and other vendors, covering tools, processes, and methodologies - reducing bottlenecks, enhancing collaboration, and ensuring all parties could operate effectively within the new Sitefinity environment.
