Southeastern Louisiana University had a proprietary CMS that severely restricted access to its valuable digital content, making ongoing management and growth challenging. They sought our help to transition to a modern, flexible WordPress platform that would unlock their content's potential and lay the foundation for enhanced performance, ease of management, and future scalability.
Southeastern Louisiana University was operating on a proprietary CMS—OmniCMS/ModernCMS—that stored its content in static XML partial files rather than in a traditional database. This nonstandard method locked the content in a way that made backend retrieval extremely challenging.
With the content essentially trapped in a rigid system, direct extraction through conventional database queries was not possible. The primary challenge was to capture every page, along with its media and images, in a reliable manner that would allow for a complete migration to WordPress.
Our innovative approach enabled Southeastern to transition from a challenging, locked-down proprietary CMS to a modern WordPress environment. The result was a seamless migration that preserved all critical content and media, optimized the data for the new platform, and provided Southeastern with a scalable, secure foundation for its digital future.
This case study exemplifies our ability to think creatively and deliver tailored solutions even in the face of unconventional technical challenges, ensuring our partners receive a migration that meets both current and future needs.
From proprietary systems that hinder your workflows to building custom integrations, we transform complex challenges into elegant solutions. Our team stays engaged from concept to completion, ensuring your vision becomes reality.
