The University of Sheffield has been using their Polopoly CMS since 2003 but it is no longer supported and regular users find it slow and difficult to use. They are considering replacing it with a new CMS. The document discusses communicating the need for change, developing a new CMS, and creating a migration process to move content over from the old system to the new one department by department.
