Why Drupal?
Drupal is the best choice for content-heavy
websites. It is an open source CMS yet it gives
freedom of managing large websites with an ease.
You will not need to pay anything for obtaining
the license of the software. All it will cost is
the fees of the Drupal development company
providing the services.

If your current website is on different CMS, it
can easily be migrated to Drupal. Here, I am
going to share three most vital tips that you
should keep in mind while getting the website
shifted to Drupal.
4
Ask the Developer about his migration plan

• Migration from one technology to another is
  naturally filled with a lot of complexities. The
  Cost also depends on process being followed.
  Check what plan do Drupal developers have. You
  can ask following questions from the development
  company
• How much time will migration take?
• Who will lead the whole migration process?
• Is investing in migration justifiable?
• Will it affect the current state of website?
• How early can you see the ROI on the migration

5
Perform an audit from organization perspective

• Before you hire a Drupal web development company,
  you must know everything about your organization.
  Knowing everything will make the communication
  simple and also, save a lot of back and forth
  questions. Here are those things
• Name all assets constituting your site
• Name the parts being migrated from the current
  site
• List the enhancement that will be added to the
  sites design, functioning, etc.
• Does the new site need integration with legacy
  systems?
• What efficiencies will come after the migration?

6
Do a technical inspection of site

• You should engage your IT team long before the
  actual migration process will take place. Also
  involve the marketing team because they are the
  people who will actually interact with site and
  clients. The IT team needs to do following
  inspections.
• Make out the sort of repository the existing site
  uses for storing data
• Assess how the old site structures non-content
  data
• List the tools that the other companies have used
  in migration
• If possible, talk other companies about required
  process and minimum time for migration
