OPTASY Completes Enterprise Drupal 10 Multisite Migration for Wright State University

OPTASY has published a case study describing its work with Wright State University, focusing on the migration of nine interconnected websites from Drupal 7 to a unified Drupal 10 multisite platform. The project involved preserving large-scale content libraries, user accounts, and custom integrations while redesigning the system architecture to support long-term scalability and maintainability.

The case study outlines the scale of the migration, including more than 100,000 content items, over 100,000 files, and approximately 12,000 user accounts. It also highlights the use of enterprise-grade migration tooling, including batch processing and memory management techniques designed to handle large datasets without performance degradation.

According to the published material, the implementation involved developing more than 50 custom migration plugins and scripts to manage complex data transformations and cross-site content relationships. The project also required maintaining compatibility with legacy shortcode systems while introducing CKEditor 5 and Layout Builder for modernised editorial workflows.

The multisite architecture was rebuilt using configuration split strategies to manage shared and site-specific settings. Custom views, modules, and external integrations were ported and updated for Drupal 10 compatibility, reflecting the complexity of maintaining functionality across interconnected systems.

The case study presents the outcome as a consolidated platform designed to improve consistency, editorial efficiency, and long-term maintainability, positioning the work as an example of enterprise-scale Drupal migration within higher education environments.
