Keep your Umbraco platform secure, supported and future ready
Running an outdated version of Umbraco introduces unnecessary risk.
Older versions eventually lose vendor support, become more difficult to maintain and can prevent your organisation from taking advantage of new functionality, improved security and modern development practices.
Newpath helps organisations upgrade Umbraco safely, with careful planning that protects your investment while minimising disruption to your business.
Why upgrade?
Technology evolves quickly.
Regular upgrades help organisations maintain:
- Security
- Vendor support
- Improved performance
- Better editor experiences
- Compatibility with modern browsers
- Integration with current Microsoft technologies
- Easier long-term maintenance
Delaying upgrades often increases complexity and cost over time.

Our upgrade services include:
- Technical assessments
- Upgrade planning
- Migration strategy
- Code remediation
- Package compatibility reviews
- Integration testing
- Data migration
- User acceptance testing

Supporting complex enterprise environments
Enterprise Umbraco implementations often include custom packages, integrations and business-critical workflows. Our team carefully reviews every component before upgrades begin to minimise risk and ensure compatibility. Where required, we modernise legacy umbraco code and replace unsupported functionality with maintainable alternatives.
Minimising business disruption
Website upgrades shouldn’t interrupt your business. Our structured deployment processes include staged testing, rollback planning and comprehensive validation before production deployment. This approach reduces downtime while providing confidence that your upgraded platform is ready for production.
