Platform migration

Replace a platform that has become a constraint on the business.

Replatforming is justified when the current system makes change too expensive, creates operational risk or cannot support the roadmap. We help separate real platform limitations from fixable implementation problems before committing to a migration.

Where we add value

Platform migration shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every platform migration requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Business-case review

Understand why the platform needs to change and what the new solution must make easier.

Dependency mapping

Document integrations, data ownership, custom workflows and hidden operational dependencies.

Phased transition

Where possible, reduce migration risk through staged delivery and controlled cutover.

Data integrity

Treat product, customer, order and operational data as a first-class migration workstream.

What we can deliver

Practical platform migration delivery from discovery through support

Midoriweb can own a complete workstream or integrate with an existing team. Scope can cover a new build, a defined improvement, recovery work or ongoing development capacity.

  • Current-state technical audit
  • Target architecture and platform selection support
  • Integration and data mapping
  • Migration tooling and scripts
  • Custom functionality rebuild
  • Testing and reconciliation
  • Cutover and rollback planning
  • Post-migration support
How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Managed project

Midoriweb owns an agreed scope, coordinates delivery and provides a clear route from discovery to release.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

How do we know whether to rebuild or repair?

A technical assessment should compare the cost and risk of addressing current constraints against the cost and benefits of replatforming.

Can migration happen in phases?

Often, yes. The feasibility depends on system boundaries, data ownership and how tightly coupled the current platform is.

Can you migrate integrations as well as the website?

Yes. Integrations are usually one of the most important parts of a replatforming programme.

Do you help choose the new platform?

Yes. We can evaluate requirements and constraints without assuming the answer must be Magento or any other single product.
