Case Study: Westmorland & Furness Council saves months of manual content migration work with Rohallion

Westmorland & Furness Council saves 3–5 months of manual content migration with Rohallion

The former Barrow Borough Council, soon to become part of Westmorland & Furness Council, faced a critical challenge when its Easysite CMS was nearing end-of-life, leaving its website vulnerable to security threats. With limited time before the council merger, their sole web developer needed to migrate approximately 1,000 content pages to a secure interim site, a manual process that was estimated to take three to five months and create an unmanageable workload.

Rohallion implemented an automated content migration to a LocalGov Drupal bridging site, saving months of manual work. This solution not only provided a secure and functional website ahead of the merger but also adapted a bin collection plugin to work with the council's systems. The automated process by Rohallion was described as a lifesaver, drastically reducing stress and allowing the council's team to focus on other aspects of the new unified website.
