When does it make sense to switch from Sitecore to Sitefinity?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Switching from Sitecore to Sitefinity is rarely a purely gut decision; rather, it depends on your specific system environment and requirements. Typical situations where it\u2019s worth considering the switch:<\/p>\n

End of support or a transition to SitecoreAI is imminent:<\/b> Support for older Sitecore versions is expiring, and Sitecore is strategically focusing on SitecoreAI (formerly XM Cloud). If a major migration is already on the horizon, this is the right time to evaluate Sitefinity as the target platform.<\/p>\n

Licensing and operating costs are under scrutiny:<\/b> A comparison of total cost of ownership (TCO) over several years will show whether Sitefinity is more cost-effective for your needs.<\/p>\n

Your instance has become difficult to maintain:<\/b> Customizations accumulated over the years make every change time-consuming. In Sitefinity, you can create your own content types using the Module Builder without the need for custom development.<\/p>\n

Multiple brands, countries, or languages need to be managed centrally: Sitefinity <\/b>manages all sites and language versions from a single instance.<\/p>\n

Business departments need to maintain content themselves:<\/b> In Sitefinity\u2019s visual page editor, editors build pages using approved widgets and preview them beforehand.<\/p>\n

New integrations are needed:<\/b> For connections to CRM, PIM, or e-commerce systems, the Sitefinity Integration Hub offers low-code connectors to over 1,000 applications, such as Salesforce or HubSpot.<\/p>\n

Content should be delivered to multiple channels:<\/b> As a hybrid headless CMS, Sitefinity delivers content via APIs to websites, apps, and other systems, while the editorial team continues to work visually.<\/p>\n

Your team is comfortable working in the .NET environment:<\/b> Since Sitefinity is also based on .NET, your Sitecore team can largely apply their existing knowledge, which lowers the barrier to switching.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What we consider during the Sitecore-to-Sitefinity migration<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Migrating from Sitecore to Sitefinity involves more than just transferring content. Existing structures, integrations, editorial processes, and SEO requirements must all work together to ensure the migration is technically seamless and that your team can continue working productively afterward. At the same time, we keep future requirements such as multilingual support or multisite structures in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Here’s how the migration from Sitecore to Sitefinity works<\/h2><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Assessing your Sitecore environment<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

We review your existing architecture, content, components, and interfaces to create a solid foundation for migration planning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Target architecture and migration plan<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Based on this, we design the structure of your new Sitefinity platform and determine how content, components, and integrations will be migrated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Implementation in clear stages<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Through structured development cycles, we implement components, migrate content and data, and integrate your existing systems, with regular milestones rather than a single, large-scale migration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Testing and quality assurance<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Before the go-live, we thoroughly test functionality, content, and interfaces, including through automated tests and structured reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Go-live and support<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

After the migration, we\u2019ll continue to support your operations, from monitoring and support to the ongoing development of your new platform.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ensuring SEO and visibility when switching CMS<\/h2><\/div>

Changing your CMS always affects your existing visibility in search engines<\/b>. For this reason, SEO isn\u2019t an afterthought, it\u2019s an integral part of the migration planning process from the very beginning. Existing URLs are identified and redirected to their new Sitefinity counterparts using a clean redirect strategy, ensuring that users and search engines can continue to find the correct pages.<\/p>\n

We also handle metadata, canonical tags, and <\/b>your internal linking<\/b> with care, rather than simply setting them up anew during the migration. Before and after the go-live, we additionally check indexability, the XML sitemap, and technical tracking<\/b> to detect early on if anything isn\u2019t working as expected. No reputable provider can guarantee that rankings will carry over exactly as they were, but with this meticulous approach, you\u2019ll significantly reduce the risk of unnecessary losses in visibility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about switching from Sitecore to Sitefinity<\/h2><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can existing content and data be imported from Sitecore?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, content, media, and data can be migrated from Sitecore to Sitefinity. Exactly how this works depends on the structure and scope of your existing content. We\u2019ll assess this specifically for your system environment as part of our initial assessment.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Do existing functions and components have to be replicated exactly?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Not necessarily. Many custom components can be effectively migrated to Sitefinity, and in some cases, they can even be simplified or updated. We\u2019ll review your existing features together and decide on a case-by-case basis what should be carried over, adapted, or redesigned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What happens to existing URLs and SEO rankings?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Existing URLs are identified and redirected to their new counterparts using a well-thought-out redirect strategy. This significantly reduces the risk of losing visibility, but no reputable source can guarantee that rankings will carry over exactly as they were.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How are interfaces and connected systems taken into account?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

As part of our analysis, we identify existing integrations such as those with CRM, PIM, or other systems and incorporate them into the migration plan from the very beginning. The goal is to ensure that your connected systems continue to function reliably after the transition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How long does a migration from Sitecore to Sitefinity take?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

That depends heavily on the volume of your content, the complexity of your system architecture, and the extent of any customizations. We can only provide you with a reliable time estimate after conducting an initial assessment of your specific situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
