If your website is still running on Drupal 7, you've likely heard that change is on the horizon. With Drupal 7 officially reaching its end of life, the question isn't whether you'll migrate, but how you'll approach it.
For many organizations, a Drupal migration can feel overwhelming. It touches nearly every part of your digital presence, from your content and design to your data structure and third-party integrations. That's why the Drupal Association created the Certified Migration Partner Program: to give marketing teams confidence that their migration partners possess the necessary technical expertise, experience, and process maturity to guide them through this crucial transition.
At Inclind, we're proud to be recognized as a Certified Drupal Migration Partner (Midscale Tier), and here's what that means for you.
What Is the Certified Drupal Migration Partner Program?
Drupal developed this program to help ensure organizations don't have to face migrations alone. Certified partners have gone through a thorough review process to demonstrate their capabilities, including:
- Proven success in completing Drupal migrations
- Documented processes that adhere to best practices
- The technical depth needed to handle complex data, integrations, and customization
For clients, this program provides peace of mind, knowing you're working with a partner who has met Drupal's standards for quality and accountability.
What Does "Midscale" Certification Mean?
Every organization is different. The Midscale Tier was created to serve mid-sized organizations that may not have extensive in-house technical teams but still need expert support for a successful migration.
This includes nonprofits and advocacy groups, higher education institutions, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and professional associations. These organizations typically need a partner who brings not only strong technical capabilities but also the ability to collaborate, listen, and adapt to real-world timelines and constraints.
At Inclind, this is precisely where we thrive. Our team specializes in guiding small marketing teams and organizational stakeholders through the full migration process, providing clarity, structure, and the right balance of technical depth and approachability.
Why Certification Matters to Your Organization
Collaborating with a certified partner goes beyond just having the proper credentials; it also instills confidence and trust in the partnership. You want to know that your data will be handled with care, that accessibility and performance will be built into your new site, and that the migration process won't create more problems than it solves. A certified migration partner brings a strategic, future-focused lens to the project, ensuring that your investment results in a more secure, scalable, and user-friendly digital experience.
You're not just looking for someone to "move things over." You're looking for someone who can help you modernize, evolve, and support your mission through technology. That's exactly what a midscale-certified partner delivers.
