Case Study: Global Fortune 500 Engineering Corporation achieves a seamless 4-week Liferay 6.2 EE upgrade with Xtivia

Global Fortune 500 Engineering Corporation - Customer Case Study

The "smart buildings" business unit of a global Fortune 500 engineering corporation needed to upgrade its clustered AWS-based Liferay portal from v6.1 EE to v6.2 EE without disrupting a large, production content repository (>100GB) and complex, long-standing customizations. XTIVIA, the vendor, leveraged its multi-year relationship and knowledge of the environment, codebase and deployment automation to scope a fast, low-risk upgrade.

XTIVIA implemented an end-to-end upgrade plan: abstracting Liferay API dependencies, applying targeted code updates, performing test content migrations, and spinning up new Liferay 6.2 environments on AWS to enable seamless cutover and easy backout. The upgrade was completed and went live in four calendar weeks, successfully migrating the large content store and minimizing operational risk while preserving rollback capability.
