ALYKA has been awarded Kentico's Upgrade Expert badge, a recognition given to partners who have demonstrated a proven track record of successfully migrating websites from legacy versions of Kentico to Xperience by Kentico (XbyK).
We're proud to be one of only three Kentico partners in Australia to hold this badge, and currently the only one in Western Australia.
For organisations considering a move to Xperience by Kentico, it provides independent validation that a partner has successfully completed these projects before and understands the complexities involved in a modern Kentico migration.
What is the Kentico Upgrade Expert badge?
The Upgrade Expert badge was introduced by Kentico to help organisations identify partners with verified experience delivering Xperience by Kentico migrations. Rather than simply demonstrating platform knowledge, the badge recognises partners who have successfully delivered real-world upgrade projects and achieved positive outcomes for their clients.
For organisations planning an upgrade, it provides confidence that their implementation partner understands the migration process, common challenges, and the best approach for achieving a smooth transition.
Our experience with Kentico upgrades
We've helped a number of organisations transition to Xperience by Kentico.
Some of our recent upgrade projects include:
We also have several additional Kentico upgrade projects currently underway, with more websites scheduled to go live later this year.
Each project is different. Some organisations are looking to modernise their content management experience, while others are focused on improving performance, accessibility, security, or creating a more flexible platform for future growth.
What they all have in common is the need for a carefully planned migration that protects existing content, minimises disruption, and sets the organisation up for long-term success.
What is Xperience by Kentico?
Xperience by Kentico (XbyK) is Kentico's modern digital experience platform (DXP), designed to combine content management, digital marketing, and website management within a single platform.
Unlike traditional CMS platforms that rely on large version upgrades every few years, Xperience by Kentico follows an evergreen approach, with regular refreshes and continuous improvements delivered over time. This allows organisations to access new features, security updates, and performance enhancements without the disruption of major platform upgrades.
For local governments, this can provide greater flexibility, reduced maintenance overhead, and a platform that evolves alongside changing community expectations.

Why this matters
Achieving Upgrade Expert status reflects the experience our team has developed through successfully delivering multiple Kentico migrations.
More importantly, it gives our clients confidence that they're working with a team that understands both the technical and strategic considerations involved in moving to Xperience by Kentico.
As Kentico Xperience 13 approaches the end of support, many organisations are starting to evaluate their next steps. Having an experienced upgrade partner can make a significant difference to project outcomes, timelines, and long-term platform success.
As Kentico recently noted:
"Choosing the right implementation partner is ultimately more consequential than choosing the right platform."
