Why upgrade to Drupal 9?
Drupal 9 contains all the features and benefits of Drupal 8, from an enhanced user experience, with more intuitive content management and a strong focus on accessibility. It also promises enhanced security and an easy up-gradation process.
By upgrading to Drupal 9 you can deliver powerful customised experiences, including seamless integrations with conversational UI, video streaming solutions, e-commerce, and data platforms.
Migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9
Migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 is a significant project. This is because Drupal 8 was a ground-up rebuild of the platform, meaning a full rebuild and content migration is required to upgrade to the latest versions.
If you’ve been maintaining an up to date version of Drupal 8, your migration path is somewhat simpler. If you’re running Drupal 7, really what you’re planning is a CMS replacement and probably a website rebuild.
Depending on whether your website is hosted on Drupal 7 or Drupal 8, we’ve created content to get you started on how to upgrade to Drupal 9.
Inspired by the Drupal 7 EOL announcement, we take a look at what replacing your content management system means for your organisation.
