The Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shangri-La Hotel Group has enhanced the customer experience in China through digital innovations, including Headless CMS<\/a> implemented using Sitecore 9. Shangri-La uses it to manage a large amount of omnichannel content, such as hotels, restaurants, events, offers, etc. With the expansion of their digital marketing strategy in China, the old content editor UI in Sitecore 9 no longer meets their authoring team's growing editing requirements for speed and efficiency. They are eager to replace the senior content editor with a modern one, which Sitecore can provide but only in Version 10 or higher. Therefore, the brand must upgrade Sitecore to 10.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrading Sitecore to another significant release is never easy. However, QEdge Digital Solutions has completed many Sitecore upgrade projects and developed our own Sitecore upgrade methodology. This includes analyzing the existing Sitecore website, planning the upgrade process, conducting the upgrade pilot test, and performing the final implementation of the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
