Whether it’s from a platform such as Adobe Business Catalyst (BC) or any other platform, Siteglide can offer you a seamless migration with many benefits.

You may want to replace bad hosting and maintenance nightmares and have the opportunity to optimise and future-proof, with a User-First DXP. So, what are the benefits of migrating to a DXP such as Siteglide? 

Siteglide Benefits

Like-for-like website migration is one method, but ask yourself if it is the most beneficial for you and your client. 

At Siteglide, we believe that you should choose the method that best suits you and your clients, so that you can get the best for them and, with this in mind, we have a variety of options that you can choose from when looking at migrating sites to a new platform.

Siteglide has not copied Adobe BC like-for-like - it is a reimagined infrastructure that focuses on speed, flexibility, reliability and performance for a future-proof innovative DXP solution.
