We’re delighted to announce that DCX has been named as one of the only Acquia Flight Path partners certified to help brands running their website on Drupal 7 to smoothly migrate to Drupal 9.

Only a few Acquia Elite partners around the world have been selected for this accolade, based on their experience with the Acquia platform and expertise in delivering successful upgrades and migrations for clients, so it is a very special accolade.

Acquia Flight Path

With the Acquia Flight Path assessment, you get a Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 migration report that identifies the scope of migrating your site from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9, and includes an in-depth content migration analysis, along with insights that show you exactly what to expect in your migration and how to prepare for it.

The Flight Path report will save you both time and money in discovery work. It will help you understand how long your migration journey would be. And it will indicate what resources you need to get there.

Based on using the Acquia Migrate Accelerate tool, Flight Path enables DCX as your chosen Drupal 7 migration partner to quickly identify any challenges with the migration, and deliver an efficient, error-free transition.

Why Migrate from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 with Acquia

Support for Drupal 7 will soon end.

Over half – around 55% – of organisations using Drupal as their content management system are still on Drupal 7. This means thousands of organisations around the world have a website running on old code that won’t automatically get new features, and will quickly start to incur issues.

Time is running out. 

There’s never been a better time to consider migrating to Drupal 9.

Drupal 9 makes work easier for content creators and site builders. It allows you to reduce your total cost of ownership with tools to support configuration management. It comes with extended security support and six-month feature releases.

And with Acquia, you get all the amazing things other organisations already take for granted when it comes to superior digital experience for their customers, such as simplified content creation and management, multi-channel marketing automation and personalisation, unified data with a best-in-class customer data platform, and much more.
