Sentry's Sitecore migration moves the content and capability you actually use onto a lean headless stack — Astro and Sanity on Cloudflare — preserving the content model and editorial workflow while removing the enterprise licence, hosting and specialist costs.

Sitecore is powerful and expensive — in licence fees, hosting and the specialists to run it. We migrate the content and capability you actually use onto a lean, headless Astro + Sanity stack on Cloudflare: faster, far cheaper to run, and easy to edit.

## What it does

Migrates Sitecore content and capability onto a headless Astro + Sanity stack on Cloudflare — preserving structure and editorial workflow while removing licence and infrastructure weight.

## Where it creates value

Frees the value stream from heavy licensing and specialist dependency: the same or better digital experience at a fraction of the run-cost, faster to ship and change.

## Why it cannot be ignored

Sitecore's licence, hosting and specialist costs compound every year — for capability most teams barely use. Staying put means paying enterprise prices for the speed and agility a headless stack delivers for less.

## What you get

- **Lose the licence weight** — Re-platform to Astro + Sanity — keep the content model and workflow, drop the enterprise licence and hosting bill.
- **Faithful migration** — Content, structure, redirects and SEO carried across with care — a controlled cutover, not a risky rebuild.
- **Fast & editable** — Sub-second, edge-served on Cloudflare, with Sanity giving editors a clean, modern authoring experience.

## Questions and answers

### Why migrate off Sitecore?

Because its licence, hosting and specialist costs compound every year, for capability most teams barely use. Staying put means paying enterprise prices for the speed and agility a headless stack delivers for considerably less. The question is not whether Sitecore is capable; it is whether you are using what you are paying for.

### Will we lose the enterprise capability we rely on?

The capability you actually use is migrated; the capability you pay for and do not use is what gets dropped. Establishing which is which is the first job, because the expensive mistake is discovering a dependency after the licence has been cancelled rather than before.

### What replaces Sitecore for our editors?

Sanity, giving editors a clean, modern authoring experience, with the content model and editorial workflow preserved rather than reinvented. A migration that forces a content team to relearn how they work fails on adoption even when it succeeds technically.

### How risky is a Sitecore migration?

It is run as a controlled cutover rather than a rebuild. Content, structure, redirects and SEO are carried across with care, and the move is staged with rollback available. The alternative — a big-bang switch on an enterprise platform — is where these projects usually go wrong.

### What actually gets cheaper?

The licence, the hosting and the specialist skills needed to run the platform. The site itself runs sub-second and edge-served on Cloudflare, which costs a fraction of enterprise hosting. Those savings are modelled in the Financial Value Model before the work is committed to.

### How do we decide whether it is worth doing?

With a free Discovery session and a Financial Value Model. Discovery produces fourteen structured commercial outputs, including what Sitecore currently costs to keep and what the migration would return. If the numbers do not support moving, that is a legitimate outcome.
