3 Platforms Upgraded

Running on borrowed time

Where They Were: CCQ's digital platform was running on outdated versions of Sitecore, Coveo, and Node.js. Each version gap widened the risk — security vulnerabilities, incompatibility with modern tooling, and an increasingly difficult path to upgrade the longer they waited.

The team knew the upgrades were overdue, but the interdependencies between platforms made it feel like an all-or-nothing effort. Without a clear upgrade strategy and someone who understood the full stack, the risk of breaking critical functionality during the process was too high to move forward alone.

"Every month they delayed made the upgrade harder and riskier. They needed someone who could see across the entire stack and orchestrate the transition without disruption."

What we did together

Coordinated Platform Upgrades

We led the upgrade of Sitecore, Coveo, and Node.js in a carefully sequenced approach — managing the interdependencies between platforms so that each step forward strengthened the foundation rather than introducing new risk. Every upgrade was validated before moving to the next.

Development Leadership & Execution

As Development Team Lead, we guided the team through the full upgrade lifecycle — from planning and risk assessment through implementation and testing. The result was a modernized stack with no service disruption, ready for the next phase of growth.

A stack that's current, secure, and ready for what's next.

With Sitecore, Coveo, and Node.js all upgraded to current, supported versions, CCQ's platform is no longer held back by technical debt or security vulnerabilities. Every layer of the stack has been modernized — eliminating risk, improving performance, and giving the team a solid foundation to build on. The platform is ready for whatever comes next.
