The challenge
Modernizing without disrupting school operations
SchoolNova needed to replace an aging Drupal implementation without losing the workflows used by students, parents, and educators. The work required migration, custom functionality, data handling, security improvements, and QA within a defined schedule.
Our approach
A controlled migration built around continuity
- 01
Mapped the existing Drupal implementation, critical workflows, and migration dependencies before defining the release path.
- 02
Redeveloped custom functionality and migrated platform data with security and quality controls built into the delivery plan.
- 03
Validated the modernized platform through QA and launch preparation so the school community could transition with confidence.
A real delivery challenge
Protecting educational workflows during migration
The platform supported active school operations, so the migration needed to preserve existing behavior while improving security, maintainability, and delivery quality.
