Frequently Asked Questions: Kentico Migration

What happens if we stay on Kentico Xperience 13 after December 31, 2026?

After this date, official support, maintenance, and security patches for the platform permanently end. Staying on KX13 means your enterprise assumes full and total liability for any claims, data losses, and security incidents. In regulated sectors, running unsupported software causes severe compliance violations during auditor reviews. Additionally, your IT budget will drain into building custom "band-aid fixes" as your third-party integrations and APIs break.

Is moving to Xperience by Kentico just a standard software update?

No, it is a complete cloud-native replatforming built on modern .NET 8 technology. Because the underlying architecture is entirely new, legacy folder-based page trees cannot simply be copied over; they must be redesigned into reusable Content Items within a centralized Content Hub.

What does a Kentico enterprise migration typically cost?

Migration budgets depend entirely on the complexity of your current architecture. Large-scale enterprise implementations that require rebuilding custom code, complex eCommerce logic, and complex third-party integrations demand an investment between $50,000 and $150,000 or more (excluding Kentico licensing fees)

Why is this considered the "last" major Kentico upgrade we will ever need?

Xperience by Kentico fundamentally shifts your enterprise to an "evergreen" software model. Instead of undergoing massive, capital-intensive, and disruptive replatforming projects every few years, the new platform receives continuous, digestible monthly refreshes. These automatic updates deliver security patches and new features seamlessly, eliminating the forced major upgrade cycle.

How does this migration impact our IT infrastructure and maintenance budgets?

By adopting Kentico's managed SaaS deployment hosted on Microsoft Azure, the vendor assumes full responsibility for infrastructure management, deployment automation, security compliance, and daily backups. This allows your IT department to permanently eliminate the heavy overhead of manual server maintenance and redirect those budgets into strategic digital growth.

Can we automatically migrate our existing Kentico eCommerce data?

No. There is no direct data migration path from KX13’s built-in eCommerce to the new Digital Commerce Platform in XbyK. Your commerce functionality requires a planned redevelopment effort, which presents a strategic opportunity to rebuild complex catalog and pricing logic using modern, scalable eCommerce APIs.

Do we have to migrate all of our legacy content?

No. For enterprises hoarding years of bloated content, a full historical migration is often unnecessary. We can execute a strategic partial migration—moving only a defined list of content types or items modified after a specific date. This approach drastically accelerates time-to-market, cleans house, and often reduces duplicate content types by 30% to 50%

How is the risk of operational downtime managed during the cutover?

Zero business disruption is achieved through meticulous architectural planning. By executing continuous regression testing, validating all integrations, and conducting multiple full rehearsal runs, we guarantee a flawless, single-weekend cutover to production without operational downtime.

Will this platform migration impact our current SEO rankings?

It will if not handled correctly. Because the new platform requires a completely new content model, your site's URL patterns will demand changes. We treat SEO as a dedicated workstream during the migration, rigorously mapping 301 redirects, updating canonicals, and securing sitemaps to ensure you do not suffer a catastrophic drop in search engine rankings.

How long does an enterprise migration typically take?

While traditional multi-year replatforming can drag on, modern tools drastically accelerate the timeline. By utilizing the official Kentico Migration Toolkit to automate data transfers and layering on AI-assisted workflows, highly efficient enterprise migrations can achieve a go-live state in as little as six weeks.

Will our website's page structure stay exactly the same?

No. KX13 was traditionally built around a folder-based page tree designed for a single website. Moving to Xperience by Kentico requires flattening these deep hierarchical structures and transforming them into reusable "Content Items" within a centralized Content Hub. This modernizes your content so it can be distributed across web, email, and external channels.

Will our existing CRM, ERP, and payment integrations automatically work on the new platform?

Not automatically. During our architectural audit, we evaluate all third-party connections. If your current integrations depend on legacy APIs or direct database access, they must be completely redesigned and rewritten to be compatible with the new .NET 8 / .NET Core architecture.

How does the new platform leverage AI for our marketing team?

Xperience by Kentico features a powerful native AI known as IRA (Intelligence and Recommendations). This AI puts marketers in the driver's seat by actively supporting content authoring—it automatically detects image focal points, generates alt-text descriptions, and intelligently assigns taxonomies and tags without requiring developer intervention.

What if we have years of outdated content? Do we have to migrate everything?

No. For enterprises hoarding years of bloated content, a full historical migration is often unnecessary. You can opt for a strategic partial migration—moving only a specific subset of content types or only items modified after a certain date. This approach cleans house and can successfully reduce duplicate content types by 30% to 50%
