Platform consolidation, sequenced to avoid a big bang
Enterprise consolidations fail when they try to move everything at once. We sequence by risk and value: the highest traffic and highest risk properties migrate first onto the new platform, proving the content model and component library before the long tail follows.
- Phase 1: platform, content model, component library, one flagship site.
- Phase 2: highest traffic and highest risk properties.
- Phase 3: long tail migration, often self service by business units.
- Ongoing: one patch cycle, one accessibility baseline, quarterly stack review.
