6 reasons to re-platform to Umbraco

Uncover how transitioning to Umbraco can optimize your operations, minimize expenses, and offer your team a more adaptable and user-friendly platform, all while maintaining the enterprise-level capabilities you rely on.
  • 01

    Enterprise-strength

    Umbraco is built on the same reliable Microsoft .NET and Azure technologies as Sitecore, ensuring robust, enterprise-level performance and security. This common foundation makes re-platforming easier and helps you retain the security and scalability your business requires.
  • 02

    Happy marketers

    Say goodbye to Sitecore’s complex controls and hidden settings. Umbraco’s intuitive interface simplifies content management, enabling your team to create and update content faster and with less hassle. Your editors will appreciate the ease of use, leading to more efficient workflows and an improved overall user experience.
  • 03

    Easy onboarding

    With Umbraco’s intuitive design, your marketing team can get started in mere hours with minimal training. This contrasts sharply with the steep learning curve associated with Sitecore, enabling your team to concentrate on productivity from day one.
  • 04

    Reduced operational and licensing costs

    Umbraco’s open-source model eliminates the high licensing fees of Sitecore, and its lightweight architecture significantly reduces operational costs. By moving to Umbraco, you can achieve substantial savings on both infrastructure and development resources.
  • 05

    Simplify future maintenance

    Umbraco, coupled with a vibrant community and extensive customization options, simplifies future maintenance and makes it more cost-effective. You’ll gain access to a diverse range of solutions, templates, and expert support, minimizing reliance on expensive proprietary systems.
  • 06

    Enhanced ROI

    The cost of migrating from Sitecore to Umbraco is far lower than renewing Sitecore licenses or maintaining its complex infrastructure. With reduced costs and a more efficient CMS, you’ll see a much-improved return on investment, both in the short and long term.
