Overcoming Legacy CMS Challenges: Transforming a Leading Stock Exchange’s Platform with Drupal 10

Legacy content management platforms (CMS) often struggle to keep pace with new demands for stability, scalability and security. For organizations that rely on highly customized systems, technical debt from years of ad hoc updates can hinder agility and performance.

Our client, a leading stock exchange, faced complex CMS development and scalability challenges with its aging Drupal-based platform. More than eight years of incremental updates and customizations had created significant redundancies within the CMS, hindering component reusability and complicating the management of outdated or unused sections. Additionally, the absence of an intuitive authoring experience resulted in slower content page creation, impacting overall content management efficiency. Without a streamlined structure, our client’s existing platform could not meet the growing demands of its marketing team.

The organization needed an expert Drupal partner to assess its legacy platform’s current condition, audit outdated modules and dependencies to identify vulnerabilities and lay a foundation for improved stability and scalability. It engaged with Material to perform this audit, develop a roadmap to reduce technical debt, enhance operational stability and provide ongoing support.
  • Conducted a comprehensive discovery phase in collaboration with key stakeholders to identify current functional, technical and operational challenges, focusing on critical areas of impact
  • Performed gap analysis to lay the foundation for targeted improvements needed to reach the aspired state of the platform
  • Migrated the existing Drupal platform to Drupal 10, reinforcing security, addressing vulnerabilities and creating a foundation for long-term stability
  • Reviewed and refined the platform’s architecture to reduce redundancies, improve reusability of components and make content scaling more efficient
  • Deployed specialized scrum teams focused on implementing high-priority improvements to ensure essential updates were completed swiftly and effectively
  • Audited the departmental structures and implemented access controls to ensure only authorized users could edit specific pages, effectively preventing unauthorized changes
  • Optimized the editorial experience by resolving layout issues, simplifying page authoring and introducing a new mega menu for managing complex, multi-level navigation
  • Reduced technical debt by removing unused scripts and modules, optimizing purge queue processing and eliminating outdated data for enhanced system performance
  • Improved Core Web Vitals scores by optimizing JavaScript and CSS, leading to faster page load times and a better user experience across the platform
Our work led to measurable enhancements of the platform’s editorial experience, performance and overall stability. We reduced technical debt by 65%, which gave an immediate boost to system performance and set it up for future growth. Content editors, too, noticed the difference: easier workflows and layout updates reduced page creation time by 50%. The introduction of access controls minimized preventable human errors, making content management smoother. After Material’s overhaul of the system, 90% of the editorial team reported feeling more comfortable using the CMS on their own. Altogether, the platform is now faster, easier to use and ready to grow with the client’s expanding content needs.
