Content migration

Updated: 12/31/2022 by Computer Hope

The process of moving structured data to a new system is called content migration. It commonly refers to moving the content stored in one CMS (content management system) to another. Its purpose is usually to reorganize or consolidate content to allow for greater control by the content provider and a more unified look and feel for the content consumer. For example, content migration may be importing information from a database or copying and re-writing content to work with a new template.
