Upgrades & Migrations

Drupal Upgrades Done Right

Drupal upgrades are critical but risky. Moving from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, or upgrading between major versions, involves complex code changes, data migrations, and extensive testing. Most agencies approach upgrades as large, risky projects with long timelines and uncertain outcomes.

TrueCMS delivers Drupal upgrades differently. We use automated migration tools, comprehensive test coverage, and incremental delivery to reduce risk and accelerate timelines. Our quality-gated CI/CD approach means every migration step is tested automatically, giving you confidence throughout the process.

Whether you're upgrading from Drupal 7, moving to the latest Drupal version, or migrating to GovCMS, we provide end-to-end support with transparent pricing and realistic timelines.

Why Choose TrueCMS for Upgrades

Drupal upgrades fail when agencies take shortcuts on testing or try to do too much at once. Our automated testing approach catches issues early, when they're cheap to fix. Our incremental delivery means you see progress weekly, not after months of hidden work.

Most importantly, our experience with quality-gated CI/CD means we can deliver zero-downtime deployments with confidence. Your live site stays up during the cutover, and if anything goes wrong, we can roll back automatically in minutes.
