Case Study: Commonwealth of Massachusetts streamlines content moderation and improves performance with Last Call Media

Commonwealth of Massachusetts migrates 600,000 revisions in 4 hours with Last Call Media

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts faced a significant challenge migrating 600,000 content revisions from the outdated Workbench Moderation module to Drupal 8's core Content Moderation module. With over 600 content authors relying on the platform, the state needed to ensure the migration was handled expertly to maintain security and support. They relied on Last Call Media to facilitate this complex upgrade path.

Last Call Media implemented a custom migration path from scratch, consolidating 20 workflow transitions down to 5 for a more optimized experience. The vendor successfully executed the massive migration over a holiday weekend, slashing the expected deployment time from 15-20 hours down to just 4 hours with no content loss. Last Call Media also created a performance patch that reduced a key query load time from 15,000 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds, drastically improving the site's performance for its many users.
