Room: Ballroom 2
Track: Showcases & Project Management

Salsa migrated the large health.vic.gov.au from SiteCore to Victoria’s Single Digital Presence (SDP) to access the benefits of open source and the whole-of-government platform. The project represents a very large site with over 110 different features identified for rebuilding on SDP, and over 80,000 content objects (pages, documents and components) for migration.
We used Merlin (a tool Salsa created and open sourced) to migrate the website to Victoria’s SDP. Merlin significantly reduces costs compared to traditional migration methods. We also rebuilt the site using the Ripple component library and standard patterns, to accelerate delivery and reduce cost.
The project represents a very successful migration/website build, but like most projects it had some curveballs along the way. During our presentation we’ll cover:
-How the frontend was mapped to SDP’s frontend presentation layer, Ripple
-How features and stories were reviewed and descoped
-Building of a new feature, content collections to meet client requirements
-The complex migration process, covering migration scripts and final migration to SDP
-Challenges across the project lifecycle
-The transition from site build to support
Background
Single Digital Presence is Victoria’s whole-of-government platform. It’s made up for three components:
1. Bay (an open-source platform based on Lagoon)
2. Tide (a Drupal CMS distribution)
3. Ripple coupled with Nuxt (the frontend presentation layer)
