Customer testimonial:

Two critical reasons to migrate to Squiz

Sitecore:
Unsustainable costs

Hidden costs and additional developer support add to unexpected Total Cost of Ownership bloat.

Squiz:
Predictable pricing

The transparent, cost-effective solution your CFO will appreciate. Pay for what you use, no hidden costs.

Sitecore:
Where ideas enter backlogs

Ready to get creative, launch personalization, or split test campaigns? Translating ideas into IT tickets wasn't what you had in mind.

Squiz:
From idea to live, without code

A visual-first platform minimizes code, so early morning ideas become afternoon releases. No support requests in sight.

Frequently asked questions

Free migration is offered based on the size and complexity of your migration and annual subscription fees. In order to determine if we can migrate you for free, we will need to run through some questions with you on your current Sitecore setup.

Start by sitting down with a technical expert to understand your current setup and needs. Think of it as creating a roadmap - have a look at your existing platform, discuss what's working and what isn't, and identify any essential features you want to keep. Then, streamline your content by identifying any outdated material before using automated tools to handle the actual move. Once everything's migrated, you should thoroughly test the platform and monitor the new system's performance.

Common challenges include:

  • Migrating large amounts of content (which can be time-consuming without automation)
  • Handling content cleanup
  • Keeping integrations working properly
  • Ensuring governance workflows are set up.

Squiz has an expert team, experienced in migrating large, complex sites - our process is designed to minimize downtime and ensure data integrity, making the switch as seamless as possible.

When migrating, you need to ensure your content structure is moved appropriately and that you don't lose vital metadata or URL structures. Squiz uses multiple checks to ensure that content is properly migrated, and tools within the Squiz DXP, such as our Search and AI chat capabilities, can help identify issues such as redundant content, duplication, errors or broken links that may affect SEO. Squiz's purpose-built migration tool automatically maps your content and URLs to maintain link functionality and SEO rankings post-migration.

We offer comprehensive migration support, including purpose-built tools, as well as in-house professional services or a partner network to help you migrate smoothly.
Specifically, we have purpose-built automation and AI tools to convert content into the appropriate structure for migration. This helps automate the bulk of the migration process, reducing manual work. Additionally, we also use tools like Squiz Search for reporting and ensuring that everything from links to performance metrics is properly addressed. We also offer in-person training and a library of free learning resources to support your team post-migration.

The best platform is one that grows with your organization. Consider what you need now and what you might need in the future. If your current system is becoming hard to manage or doesn't support your goals anymore, it might be time for a change. The good news is that Squiz DXP allows you to transition gradually - you can start building new pages while keeping your existing site running.

We streamline this process through automation and smart templating. Our migration tools adapt your content to fit the requirements of Squiz DXP, while our design system approach helps maintain consistency across your custom elements. This structured method makes it easier to rebuild and scale your pages while preserving your unique brand elements.

Our migration process is designed to minimize downtime. As part of the process, there is an instant switch from the old system to the new one, meaning your users won't experience any service interruptions. You can continue publishing content as usual right up until the switch, and our tools automatically capture and transfer your latest updates. The process only needs access to your front-end site, keeping things simple and secure.

We conduct thorough testing through multiple stages of the migration process. This includes checks for content accuracy, link functionality, and performance issues. Our comprehensive reporting system helps identify and resolve any potential problems well before launch, ensuring a smooth transition.

Squiz supports customer training and ongoing success with a variety of virtual, 1:1 and in person programs. This includes access to our digital learning academy, instructor-led training on demand, regular customer success check-ins, customer and partner enablement, webinars, drop-in demos, user lunch-and-learns, and an active online user community.

During implementation, we also offer a co-build process to upskill customers from the very start, to enable internal teams to be confidently self-sufficient on the DXP from Day 1.

As best practice, we recommend finding a person within your organization to become an evangelist or trainer who can help roll out training across the team. Squiz also supports training efforts by offering a dedicated learning team.

We offer flexible migration options to match your needs. For a quick migration, a lift-and-shift can be done in a few weeks or months. For more complex sites, we provide:

  • Comprehensive content and design review
  • Automated content mapping to maintain SEO rankings
  • Duplicate content identification and cleanup
  • Updated integration systems with pre-built connectors
  • Streamlined maintenance processes

Our goal is to make the transition as efficient as possible while maintaining your site's functionality and improving its overall performance.

Yes, Squiz offers 24/7 global support and has a local teams in the USA, EMEA, Australia, New Zealand regions. This ensures that you have local experts on the ground to provide support or advice on managing your digital experiences.
