Case Study: Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 Upgrade
Zero-Regret Healthcare Migration to Drupal 10
iAMable needed to keep all research data safe, avoid long downtime, and stay fully accessible
https://www.iamable.caHealthcare Research Platform
iAMable is a Canadian health tech research group. They run a digital platform that helps older adults and people with chronic illnesses track goals and manage pain. Their system requires strict data privacy and accessibility.
Secure D7 to D10 Migration
iAMable needed to move off Drupal 7 before end-of-life. They needed to keep all research data safe, avoid long downtime, and stay fully accessible.
The Approach
Audit and Risk Mapping
We reviewed every feature, module, and database to identify risky areas and custom code needing replacement.
AI-Powered Migration Planning
Using our AI engine, we generated migration scripts and regression tests targeting healthcare data and user flows.
Template Rebuilding and Code Upgrades
Legacy templates were rebuilt in Twig, CSS reused where possible, and key functionality like goal tracking re-coded for D10.
Step-by-Step Rollout
We migrated the site in a cloned environment, ran tests, and reviewed every update before moving live.
Validation and Accessibility Checks
Visual regression tests, automated WCAG checks, and manual QA confirmed all pages remained compliant and functional.
Healthcare-Grade Data Migration
The site now runs on Drupal 10 with full data integrity, identical layout, and zero loss of accessibility or research tools. AI tools caught visual and data mismatches during test runs. The client gained a stable, compliant setup without surprises.
Key Matrics
- 100% data preserved across 20+ content types
- 0% functional loss, including goal-setting and pain-tracking
- Completed within budget (under $20K)
- No downtime during live switch
- WCAG compliance verified
