Migrating from another CMS
Many organisations move to Xperience by Kentico from platforms such as Sitecore, Optimizely, Drupal and WordPress. Kentico provides migration tooling and guidance to help streamline the process, but the biggest challenge is rarely the technology itself. It is understanding how content, integrations, workflows and user needs should evolve in the new platform.
Working with an experienced Kentico partner helps ensure valuable content and functionality are retained where appropriate, while taking the opportunity to simplify processes, improve governance and reduce technical debt.
What happens to existing content and integrations?
Existing content, integrations and functionality are usually reviewed as part of the migration process rather than simply discarded. Valuable content can be retained and improved, while integrations with CRM, marketing, identity and other business systems can often be migrated, modernised or replaced with more effective solutions.
What are the long-term benefits?
The biggest long-term benefit of moving to Xperience by Kentico is avoiding the cycle of major upgrade and rebuild projects. The platform is designed to evolve through smaller, ongoing updates, helping organisations keep their website current, secure and supported while reducing technical debt and long-term maintenance costs.
