Tesco has always had an eye on the future. Each of its six corporate websites were using Umbraco 7 as their CMS, and the product was reaching the end of its lifecycle. Moving to Umbraco’s latest version would provide a more solid and secure platform, open-up new technologies and empower the retailer to meet user and business needs for years to come. We seized the upgrade as an opportunity to unify user experience, align the sites with Tesco strategy and build a powerful platform for future development.
