The challenge

BioCentury, a biotechnology publisher, ran a monolithic setup spanning a sitemap of over 250,000 indexed pages accumulated across three decades. The rigid, template-based system slowed publishing at a time when events such as the early COVID-19 outbreak demanded rapid, up-to-date coverage.

The solution

BioCentury migrated to Hygraph, using Remote Sources and GraphQL Mutations to federate data and manage content programmatically, with flexible content modeling and granular custom roles.

The results, in context

BioCentury reported an 81% decrease in time from idea to publishing and a 120% increase in content engagement, while operating around 60K indexed pages on the new platform.
