Building a practice through training and certification.
What Magnolia 6.4 changes for your teams.
AI in the authoring flow
Automated metadata and AI image tagging with your choice of model, so editors spend their time on content. 6.4 is also where Magnolia’s agentic roadmap lands.
Publishing at pace
The Swift Publication engine moves large content volumes over 70% faster, and rebuilt forms and workflows make everyday editing noticeably quicker.
A supported foundation
A Jakarta EE 10 baseline, two years of full support ahead of every major release, and documented migration paths from both 6.2 and 6.3.
There is more in the release than fits here, from an authoring interface rebuilt to meet WCAG 2.1 AA to a considerably faster global search. Magnolia’s release notes carry the full detail. Our job is working out which of it matters on your platform, and in what order.
Two routes to 6.4, under one programme.
We assess the platform as it stands, then recommend a route. The decision usually turns on your hosting commitments and how much change the business can absorb in a single window.
Upgrade in place
Discuss an in-place upgrade
Upgrade and move to DX Cloud
Discuss a cloud transition
Take the existing self-managed or PaaS platform to 6.4 without changing the hosting model. Remediation, testing and release readiness run through a parallel environment and a rehearsed transition.
Combine the 6.4 upgrade with a move to Magnolia DX Cloud. Architecture, connectivity, security, migration and the operating-model changes that follow are managed as one set of workstreams rather than a second project.

How the TBSCG Upgrade Playbook works.
A structured, stage-gated delivery approach designed to reduce risk, maintain business continuity and provide clear governance throughout the upgrade.
01
Mobilise and govern
Align scope, outcomes and success measures; establish governance, delivery controls, decision rights, environments and the integrated programme plan.
02
Assess and design
Baseline the current platform, catalogue dependencies and customisations, assess upgrade readiness, and define the target architecture and migration approach.
03
Build and remediate
Upgrade the platform, remediate custom modules and integrations, address prioritised technical debt, and prepare content, data and environments.
04
Validate and transition
Complete functional, integration, regression, performance and security testing, supported by release-readiness gates and a rehearsed cutover plan.
05
Stabilise and optimise
Provide hypercare, resolve early-life issues, transfer knowledge and operational ownership, and establish a prioritised roadmap for continued improvement.
What happens next
Three steps from today to a confirmed programme.
No commitment required before the assessment. The discovery call is the start of the conversation — we scope the programme around your platform, not the other way around.
Evidence-led governance at every stage
Architecture, delivery, quality and business readiness are controlled through defined evidence, decision points and formal stage gates from mobilisation through stabilisation
What enterprise teams need to know before mobilisation.
Which versions and hosting models are supported?
The playbook supports upgrade pathways from legacy Magnolia 5.x and earlier 6.x releases across client-hosted, PaaS and cloud environments. The delivery strategy is tailored to the starting version, hosting model, customisation footprint, integrations and technical debt.
What is included in the programme?
An end-to-end programme covering mobilisation, platform assessment, architecture and dependency analysis, remediation, build, assurance, release readiness, cutover, stabilisation and knowledge transfer, governed through defined evidence, decision points and formal stage gates.
Why mobilise now?
Magnolia’s published lifecycle places 6.2 and 6.3 into limited support from September 2026, with critical security fixes continuing until end of life in September 2027. Mobilising now protects the time required for structured assessment, remediation, testing and controlled transition. View Magnolia’s release lifecycle.
Can the upgrade include a move to DX Cloud?
Yes. The programme can deliver an in-place upgrade or combine the upgrade with migration to Magnolia DX Cloud. The scope covers target architecture, connectivity, security, CI/CD, data and content migration, operational readiness and the future support model.
What does Magnolia Platinum Partner status mean?
Platinum is Magnolia’s highest partner tier, recognising significant market presence and a mature practice spanning the full solution lifecycle. For TBSCG, it also reflects active collaboration with Magnolia across leadership, product engineering and customer success, providing established access to the right expertise throughout the programme. View Magnolia’s partner tiers.
How is programme risk controlled?
Through evidence-led governance, architecture assurance, dependency mapping, RAID management, defined stage-entry and exit criteria, traceable test evidence, cutover rehearsals, rollback planning and formal go/no-go decisions.
How is business continuity protected?
The upgraded platform is built and validated in controlled environments. Cutover proceeds only when technical, operational and business-readiness criteria have been evidenced and approved against a rehearsed, monitored and reversible transition plan.
