CMS Migration Without the Pain: How We Structure It at Sengo

At Sengo, we’ve helped teams move from legacy CMS platforms to modern architectures without chaos or downtime. Whether you’re going from Sitecore XP to XM Cloud, WordPress to a headless stack, or modernizing a multi-site setup, we’ve built a proven migration process to reduce risk and maximize value.

Step-by-Step: Our Migration Framework

Every organization is different, but here’s how we typically structure a CMS migration:

• 🔍 Discovery & Audit: We assess your current platform, content models, integrations, and pain points.
• 🧱 Content Mapping: We align existing structures to the new CMS — including components, taxonomies, and multilingual needs.
• 🚧 Parallel Build: We build the new solution alongside your current site to avoid disrupting production.
• 🔄 Smart Migration: We script and test automated migration of content, media, and metadata.
• ✅ QA & User Training: We validate content, test workflows, and empower your team before go-live.
