Pension Protection Fund
Drupal to Sitecore Migration
The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is a UK government-backed fund that safeguards members of eligible defined benefit pension schemes in case their employer faces insolvency. Established in 2005, the PPF protects nearly 10 million members across more than 5,200 pension schemes nationwide.
The PPF engaged with ClerksWell to migrate their key websites from Drupal to Sitecore. The primary objective was to consolidate all their websites, including their member sites, under a single instance of Sitecore.
The Challenge
PPF were struggling to manage multiple websites spread over different CMS solutions and versions of Drupal and Sitecore. The infrastructure was costly and lead to broken user experiences when navigating between their websites.
The Approach
-
Conducted a seamless lift and shift migration of the existing websites, maintaining brand identity.
-
Implemented a secure, scalable, and resilient Sitecore 10 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure to house their many sites.
-
Collaborated with PPF's Information Security teams to ensure the solution met their strict security expectations.
-
Met project governance requirements by producing comprehensive documentation for future projects.
The Impact
The collaborative and trust-driven partnership with PPF resulted in a successful migration to Sitecore, fulfilling their goals of enhanced security, operational efficiency, and a unified digital experience.
The project's significance lies in showcasing how public sector organizations can leverage Sitecore's capabilities while maintaining strict data security requirements.
PPF are now able to rely on ClerksWell to support their Sitecore estate with a Managed Service Agreement to ensure continuation of service, coordinated by our service management team.
