Are you considering upgrading to Optimizely 12?
With Microsoft's ongoing evolution of the ASP.NET framework, a major upgrade is inevitable for organizations that wish to continue receiving support for their Optimizely CMS platform. Download our checklist today to help you prepare.
Why Upgrade to Optimizely 12?
With Microsoft ending support for ASP.NET 4, which runs CMS 11 and earlier versions, CMS 12 has been built on ASP.NET Core, which is a significant technical leap and requires major changes to your site’s code and dependencies. All new Optimizely features and functionality are being developed for version 12, with only bug fixes and security updates being released for the non-CMS 12 versions of their CMS product. To take advantage of the latest features, as well as all future Optimizely features, you will need to upgrade.
With so many underlying technology changes, we know this can feel overwhelming. Having a solid plan is key to success. To ensure a smooth and successful transition, it's crucial to consider several key aspects before you undertake any changes that will directly impact the outcome of your upgrade.
To get started in the upgrade process, we've put together a checklist to help you understand the key areas you need to consider including:
- Defining requirements
- Integration planning
- Content migration
- Hosting options
Upgrading to CMS 12 requires the correct strategy and guidance. Download this checklist to help get the ball rolling so you can feel confident moving forward with your Optimizely 12 upgrade project.
