The common thread

Replatforming in four phases.

The guide walks you through the entire process step by step — structured along the four project phases.

Phase 01

Decision

Spot the signals, define goals and KPIs, choose platform and partner, build the business case.

Phase 02

Analysis

Capture the current state technically and functionally; understand stakeholders, competitors and audiences.

Phase 03

Design & Implementation

Project management, storefront, integrations, data migration and a robust QA process.

Phase 04

Testing & Go-Live

Migrate SEO and analytics, smoke and end-to-end tests, a structured go-live agenda.
