For years, Kentico Xperience 13 has been a dependable foundation for websites, customer portals, and e-commerce solutions. But a major milestone is approaching: in 2026, Kentico will officially end support for version 13.

This creates an essential decision point for every company still running on K13:
How will your digital ecosystem evolve — and who will help you get there?

As one of the most experienced Kentico partners in Europe and one of only five global partners recognized with Kentico’s Upgrade Competence Award, Bluesoft supports organizations with transition planning, technical assessments, and realistic migration roadmaps toward Xperience by Kentico.

In 2025, Kentico named Bluesoft one of the top five partners worldwide delivering the highest number and quality of upgrade projects. This recognition validates our long-term technical expertise and hands-on experience.

Today:

• Our own corporate website already runs on Xperience by Kentico
• We’re delivering upgrade projects for E.ON and Sazka
• We’re preparing migration roadmaps for organizations aiming to modernize before 2027

This experience allows us to guide companies with predictability, technical certainty, and accurate budgeting.

Kentico Xperience 13 is currently in extended support. It still receives security patches, but no new capabilities or improvements.

Support ends on December 31, 2026.

Until then:

• No new features
• Security patches only
• No platform modernization

Meanwhile, all development effort is focused on Xperience by Kentico, which receives monthly refreshes.

After January 1, 2027:

• No more security updates
• No hotfixes or technical support
• Increasing security risks
• More difficult integrations with modern APIs
• Growing technical debt and maintenance cost

Your website will continue to run — but every year, keeping it running will become more complex, risky, and expensive.

The Kentico community already sees a clear trend:

• Q3–Q4 2026 will be capacity-constrained
• The best partners will be fully booked
• Accelerated upgrades typically cost more and carry more risk

This is why companies are starting their modernization planning now.

The question we hear most often:
“What will an upgrade or migration cost in our specific situation?”

To provide a data-driven answer — not a guess — we offer a free Kentico Web Health Audit that evaluates your current environment within seven days.

The audit covers:

Performance & UX
Speed, architecture, bottlenecks, and their impact on user experience.

SEO & Discoverability
Technical search issues, common especially in long-neglected K13 installations.

Security & Compliance
Risks, vulnerabilities, and outdated dependencies — a critical factor after K13 end-of-support.

Deliverables:

• A full report sent by email
• A free online consultation with our CTO
• Recommendations and modernization scenarios tailored to your business

2026 is closer than it seems — and the end of K13 support will require a strategic decision.

Organizations that plan ahead gain:

• A secure and future-ready digital platform
• Better performance and more efficient content operations
• An opportunity for redesign or integration cleanup
• A stress-free roadmap without capacity constraints

As a Kentico Gold Partner, Kentico Quality Expert, and Upgrade Competence Award holder, Bluesoft can guide you through every step — from the initial audit to a full upgrade or migration to Xperience by Kentico.
