Get the Latest Versions of Optimizely in Weeks, at a Fixed Price
Most organizations on older versions of Optimizely aren't waiting by choice. They're waiting because the upgrade has felt too risky, too slow, or too expensive to justify. We've built a process that removes those barriers: CMS upgrades in 4 weeks, Commerce in 6 weeks, at a fixed price.

What CMS 13 actually changes
CMS 13 is a structural change, not an incremental release. The architecture shifts to headless-first, with content delivered via Optimizely Graph and GraphQL APIs, enabling consistent delivery across channels without the constraints of a legacy implementation.
The upgrade path itself is also different. CMS 13 uses a structured rebuild approach rather than an in-place upgrade, which reduces downtime risk and produces more stable, predictable launches. Upgrading unlocks the full Optimizely One suite, including capabilities that simply aren't available on older versions.
The platform shift
What you gain access to
Visual Builder
Marketing teams create and manage pages without relying on developers for routine updates.
AI-powered content workflows
Generate, refine, and optimize content faster using AI embedded directly in your existing workflows.
Personalization & experimentation
Advanced segmentation, targeting, and A/B testing capabilities that connect every experience to measurable outcomes.
Composable architecture
Integrate best-of-breed tools and scale without being locked into legacy system constraints.
Improved performance
Modern, optimized implementations deliver faster page loads and structured data, improving both user experience and discoverability.
Optimizely Agent Platform
Put AI agents to work across your digital ecosystem
Optimizely Agent Platform (formerly Optimizely Opal) is deeply integrated with CMS 13, bringing AI-powered assistance and agent-driven capabilities directly into the editorial experience. CMS 13 provides access to newer Agent Platform tools and agents designed to work with your content and configuration. Organizations on older versions may need to upgrade to take advantage of these newer AI capabilities and deeper CMS integration.
XCentium is an Optimizely Opal Specialized Partner. We help organizations implement Optimizely Agent Platform and apply AI agents to practical content and digital workflows.
Content generation & refinement
Draft, rewrite, and optimize content from within the CMS editor, reducing time from brief to published.
AI-driven personalization
Deliver more relevant experiences by combining Optimizely Agent Platform with Optimizely's personalization, segmentation, and targeting capabilities.
Content governance & compliance
Automate review workflows, flag issues before they reach production, and maintain consistency at scale.

Commerce upgrades
Commerce upgrade services
We support upgrades across Optimizely's commerce platforms, including Commerce Connect and Configured Commerce. Engagements are scoped to your current setup and follow the same fixed-price, guaranteed-timeline model as our CMS work.
Commerce Connect version upgrade
Upgrading Commerce Connect alongside CMS 13 as a combined engagement, coordinating the dependency chain across both platforms.
Configured Commerce version upgrade
Moving from an older Configured Commerce SDK version to the current LTS release, with full code audit, dependency mapping, and regression testing.
Classic to Spire migration
Migrating from the Classic storefront to Spire. Classic reached end-of-life in January 2025. We assess your current implementation and manage the conversion to Spire.
On-premise to cloud
Moving a self-hosted Configured Commerce instance to Optimizely's cloud infrastructure, including environment setup, data migration, and cutover planning.

Why now
The hidden cost of waiting
Deferring an upgrade isn't a neutral decision. The longer organizations stay on older versions, the more ground they give up in capability, performance, and competitive positioning.
You're missing newer AI-powered capabilities
Older implementations can limit your ability to take advantage of the latest Optimizely capabilities across AI, personalization, content management, and experience creation. Upgrading creates a stronger foundation for adopting these capabilities as your digital strategy evolves.
AI search visibility is at risk
AI-driven retrieval systems increasingly favor structured, fast, well-organized content. Outdated implementations with slower performance and legacy architecture are harder for these systems to surface.
Security and cost exposure grows
Every month on an unsupported version adds security exposure and typically increases development costs, as workarounds accumulate and the gap to current releases widens.

Frequently asked questions
We offer fixed-price engagements based on your environment's complexity. Our AI-assisted process reduces the manual effort traditionally required, and we pass that efficiency into our pricing. No ranges, no surprises once work begins.
Compatibility depends on your specific integrations and customizations. The assessment phase maps all of these before any migration begins, so issues are identified and planned for upfront, not discovered mid-project.
Every upgrade carries some risk: compatibility gaps, integration friction, regression issues. Our process is designed to surface and resolve these during the assessment and pre-migration phases, before anything touches production.
You lose access to Optimizely Agent Platform, real-time personalization, Visual Builder, and the composable architecture of CMS 13, regardless of your Optimizely contract. Security exposure accumulates, development costs tend to rise, and AI search visibility degrades over time. The gap between upgraded and legacy implementations compounds with every release cycle.
We audit your codebase and site, map breaking changes and integration dependencies, and deliver a custom upgrade roadmap, along with a fixed-price quote and exact timeline for your setup. The assessment is yours to keep whether or not you move forward with us.
