Case Study: Canon achieves large-scale CMS migration, streamlined operations, and substantial cost savings with Lionbridge

How Lionbridge helped Canon save money, streamline operations, and migrate thousands of pages of content

Canon, a global imaging and optical manufacturer, faced the challenge of migrating over 300,000 web pages across 55 markets to a new CMS (Tridion 11 → SDL Web 8.5) and a new Digital Asset Management System without disrupting ongoing marketing and e‑commerce operations. To preserve brand quality, site performance, and launch schedules, Canon retained Lionbridge for web publishing, CMS migration, project management and QA services.

Lionbridge deployed dedicated manual migration and testing/QA teams, led process re‑engineering and Six Sigma cost‑savings workshops, and converted legacy pages to mobile‑optimized templates while maintaining thousands of daily publishes and business-as-usual launches. The engagement delivered no business interruption, 100% of product launch dates met, substantial annual savings, and an estimated 20–30% reduction in content process cycle time thanks to Lionbridge’s approach.
