FAQs
1. What are Liferay upgrade and migration services?
Liferay upgrade services move an existing environment to a newer supported version, while migration services may involve moving between platforms, editions, hosting environments, or architectures.
2. When should we upgrade our Liferay DXP or Portal?
Consider an upgrade when your current version approaches or reaches end of support, security updates become a concern, dependencies are outdated, or business requirements exceed existing capabilities. Liferay supports each Q1 LTS release with 3 years of premium support plus 2 years of limited support; other quarterly releases receive 1 year.
3. Can custom Liferay modules and portlets be migrated?
Yes, many customizations can be migrated, but API changes, deprecated components, and dependency compatibility may require code updates or redevelopment. For releases from 2025.Q3 onward, this includes the move from javax.* to jakarta.* packages (Jakarta EE).
4. How do you protect content and data during migration?
We plan content and data mapping, backups, test migrations, validation, and reconciliation procedures appropriate to the source and target environments.
5. How long does a Liferay upgrade or migration take?
Timelines depend on version differences, customization complexity, content volume, integrations, infrastructure, and testing requirements. An initial assessment helps establish a realistic schedule.
6. Can you move from Liferay Portal CE to Liferay DXP?
Yes. Since the 2026.Q1 release, Liferay Portal CE and Liferay DXP are one platform, so moving from CE is a version upgrade rather than a migration. The effort depends on your current CE version and custom code.
7. How do you minimize disruption during a Liferay upgrade?
We plan staging deployments, regression testing, backups, cutover procedures, and rollback options based on the environment and agreed downtime requirements.
FAQs
1. What are enterprise software development services?
They cover the design, build, and long-term support of large-scale software for complex organizations: platforms that integrate multiple systems, serve many user roles, meet strict security standards, and scale to heavy load. It’s a different discipline from building a standard app, because the hard part is usually the integration, governance, and scale, not the feature itself.
2. How is enterprise software different from custom software?
The line is scale and complexity. Custom software is built around one team’s way of working. Enterprise software has to hold up across departments, integrate with legacy systems, enforce role-based access and compliance, and stay reliable for thousands of users. Every enterprise build is custom, but not every custom build carries the same demands.
3. Do you work with Liferay and Adobe Experience Manager?
Both are core to what we do. We’re an Adobe Solution Partner with deep Liferay DXP experience, and we build portals, intranets, and content platforms on both, including upgrades, migrations, and headless implementations.
4. Can you modernize our existing legacy systems?
Legacy modernization is one of the most common reasons enterprises come to us. We refactor code, break monoliths into microservices, migrate databases, and move systems to cloud-native infrastructure, all in phased stages so daily operations keep running.
5. How do you handle security and compliance?
Security is designed in from the architecture stage, with role-based access, encryption, identity management (SSO, OAuth2, SAML, SCIM), and audit trails. For regulated industries we engineer to the relevant standards rather than retrofitting them before launch.
6. Can you integrate with our ERP, CRM, and existing systems?
Integration is usually the center of an enterprise build, not a side task. We connect through APIs and proven integration patterns across ERP, CRM, HRMS, IAM, payment systems, and custom platforms, including older systems that weren’t designed to connect easily.
7. Do you provide ongoing support after the platform launches?
Launch is the start of the relationship. We offer continued monitoring, optimization, and dedicated engineering support, and many clients keep a long-term team in place to evolve the platform as their needs grow.
8. How do you handle cost, TCO, and ROI on a large build?
We look at total cost of ownership early, not just the build price: licensing, infrastructure, maintenance, and the cost of the manual work the software replaces. Before locking scope, we help you weigh the return,
which features justify the investment and which can wait, so the roadmap follows value rather than a wish list.
9. Can you build AI and machine learning into our systems?
Yes, where it adds real value rather than novelty. That ranges from intelligent automation and predictive analytics to deeper AI work delivered through inexture.ai. We build the clean data and API foundations that make those capabilities dependable instead of bolted on.
