Migrating from Domino to Drupal: A Case Study
Business and Strategy
The purpose of this track is two-fold - one angle helps you to understand the advantages of Drupal from an organizational leadership angle and the other is to highlight the great Drupal sites and projects you're working on and to show what's possible. These sessions are business focused, and will be non-technical.
For years, the EPA used Domino Lotus Notes to create and publish its News Releases. Domino was slow, inefficient, and hard to customize. The Drupal "platform" afforded the EPA the opportunity to streamline and move its News Releases publication process into the Agency's Drupal WebCMS. It wasn't easy: we needed to find all of the technical boundaries, and we were also expected to match (and exceed) existing functionality. The project has two phases: a new content type with a multi-faceted search front end (lots of views) and a migration phase (it can be hard to extract data from Domino).
Will it be worth it? Time will tell.
