After eliciting requirements, examining the client’s data ecosystem, and evaluating different strategies, we dismissed a Magento 1.9 upgrade and starting from scratch alternatives due to excessive costs and time constraints. Faced with the choice of
migrating to Adobe Commerce or the Magento 2 open-source platform, our assessment revealed that the open-source platform's capabilities were well-suited to fully meet the client's needs, providing a cost-effective solution. Thus, we opted for this path, executing the migration with precision and achieving the following:
●
A comprehensive data audit followed by the creation and implementation of a detailed data migration roadmap to ensure secure transfer of all data and configurations
●
Recreation of all custom logic and functionality from the Magento 1.9 marketplace on the Magento 2 marketplace, leveraging the platform’s rich customization capabilities
●
Reengineering and configuration of Magento modules, including the Unirgy uDropship extension
●
Development of a custom API to facilitate a unique UI for cross-platform compatibility and extensive customization
●
Upgrade of the database to a more recent version of MySQL
●
Website speed optimization following migration
