Case Study: Erasmus University Rotterdam achieves fast, secure TYPO3-to-Drupal migration with Xillio

Automatic Migration From Typo3 to Drupal Saves Erasmus University a Lot of Time and Money

Erasmus University faced the challenge of migrating its website content from an obsolete TYPO3 system to a more secure Drupal platform due to pressing security concerns and a strict nine-month deadline. The university partnered with Xillio to manage this complex and large-scale content migration.

Xillio provided a solution by mapping the university's TYPO3 content types and structure to Drupal and then creating automated migration scripts. Using their specialized connectors, Xillio executed the migration of approximately 20,000 web pages and media files, preserving links and relationships. This automation was crucial to meeting the tight deadline and saved the university the immense cost and impracticality of a manual migration, allowing an internal editorial team to then focus on improving the transferred content.
