Migrating a Corporate News Portal to Umbraco 10 to Ensure Seamless Authentication with IdentityServer
Client Profile
The Client is a global real estate management company headquartered in the United Kingdom.
Challenge
SaM Solutions’ team had been maintaining the Client’s corporate news portal, which was powered by Umbraco 8. The Client needed to implement smooth authentication on the website via IdentityServer. However, IdentityServer requires .NET Core for full compatibility, whereas Umbraco 8 is based on .NET Framework.
SOLUTION
To address this challenge, our experts explored possible solutions and recommended migrating the portal to the newest Umbraco 10, which is based on .NET Core and fully compatible with IdentityServer.
Our dedicated team, comprising Umbraco developers, a QA engineer, and a DevOps specialist, devised and implemented a comprehensive website migration plan.
Specifically, they:
- Conducted a website and infrastructure audit.
- Established an Umbraco 10 infrastructure and configured new servers.
- Refactored custom modules using a newer version of Angular.
- Migrated all content and digital assets.
- Optimized solution performance.
- Conducted a post-migration audit and testing.
Additionally, at the Client's request, our experts implemented new functionality and several integrations with third-party marketing automation tools and services.
