Our upgrade service covers:
System Analysis & Planning: Evaluate your current version, custom modules, and integrations to create a risk-free upgrade plan.

Odoo Upgrade vs Odoo Migration: What’s The Difference?
While often used interchangeably, upgrade and migration are fundamentally different processes.
Migration involves moving from another ERP system to Odoo. It requires mapping your existing business processes, restructuring data, and setting up a new environment—a more complex transformation than upgrading within Odoo.
In addition, for old Odoo versions, a fresh implementation might be better than a direct upgrade. We can help determine which path better suits your needs, considering data integrity and business requirements.
Why Do You Need To Upgrade Your Odoo Version?
Upgrading your Odoo system ensures business continuity and competitive advantage in today's digital landscape.
Continued Official Support
Each Odoo version receives three years of support. After this period, you'll lose access to security patches and expert maintenance, putting your operations at risk.
Advanced Security Features
New versions provide robust security, including two-factor authentication and comprehensive audit trails to protect your data and maintain compliance.
Enhanced Business Operations
Latest versions deliver faster performance and streamlined workflows. Your team gets intuitive interfaces and better integration with essential business tools.
