Upgrades, updates and staying current on Sitecore

Keep your platform up-to-date to ensure access to new features and fixes.

Plan your strategy.

Every release since Sitecore 6 in 2008 has built on our core strength in web content management to offer a platform that lets you manage the entire customer experience in an omnichannel, personalised manner. By upgrading to the current version, you get access to new features and ensure that your mainstream support is still active. It's also a great time to think about whether your content and personalisation strategies need updates, too.
