What does a Kentico Gold Partner mean?
Kentico Gold Partner status recognises a partner's experience, investment and commitment to the Kentico platform. Beyond Gold status, Kentico also awards specialist credentials that recognise expertise in specific areas such as platform quality, upgrades, SaaS deployments and accelerator development.
When evaluating a partner, look beyond their tier and consider the breadth of their Kentico certifications, project experience and long-term involvement in the Kentico community.
Do MVPs and certified developers matter?
Yes. Certifications and MVP recognition demonstrate a deeper level of platform expertise and ongoing engagement with the Kentico ecosystem.
Kentico MVPs are recognised by Kentico for their expertise and contribution to the platform and wider community. Working with a partner that includes MVPs and certified specialists can provide additional confidence when delivering complex implementations, integrations and upgrades.
Why migration and upgrade experience matters
Many organisations adopting Xperience by Kentico are upgrading from earlier Kentico versions or migrating from another CMS. Migration experience helps reduce risk, retain valuable content and integrations, and avoid carrying unnecessary technical debt into the new platform.
Partners with Kentico Upgrade Expert recognition have demonstrated experience helping organisations transition successfully to Xperience by Kentico.
