Upgrade

Outdated software safely upgraded to the latest version — without surprises.

Upgrade

A software upgrade is the controlled process of updating frameworks, programming languages and dependencies to newer versions in order to benefit from improved security, performance and long-term support.

Structured Approach

Every upgrade starts with an impact analysis: which versions are running, which dependencies are outdated, where are the risks? Based on that, we draw up an upgrade plan — whether it concerns a Symfony or Laravel upgrade, a PHP version jump or a complete stack upgrade. Step by step, tested after every phase.

Minimal Impact, Maximum Control

We deliberately separate upgrades from regular maintenance. That focus prevents unnecessary risks. Automated tools speed up the process, extensive testing safeguards functionality, and clear communication keeps you informed. Afterwards, you receive documentation with insight into the new possibilities.

Working smarter

Framework upgrades benefit significantly from automated analysis. Deprecations, breaking changes, and migration paths are systematically identified, making the upgrade process faster and safer.

Frequently asked questions about Upgrade

  • What does a framework or PHP upgrade cost?

    That depends on the current version, the number of outdated dependencies and the size of the application. After an impact analysis, you receive a transparent quote — no surprises.

  • How long does an upgrade process take?

    A standard framework upgrade can be completed in a few days to weeks. Major versions with many breaking changes take longer. After the impact analysis, you receive a realistic timeline with clear milestones.

  • What is the risk of breaking changes after an upgrade?

    We inventory breaking changes in advance. By upgrading step by step and testing after each step, we resolve compatibility issues early. A rollback strategy is always part of the plan.

  • What happens to existing data during an upgrade?

    Data is fully preserved. We prepare and test database migrations in a staging environment before the production upgrade. Validation before and after guarantees integrity.

  • Which frameworks and platforms are supported for upgrades?

    Symfony, Laravel, Shopware, Pimcore and PHP versions. Also underlying infrastructure such as databases, web servers and container environments.
