And how to ensure a smooth transition with a certified Odoo partner
Odoo evolves every year. New features are introduced, the interface becomes more user-friendly, and performance continues to improve. Yet many businesses are hesitant to migrate to a newer version. Fear of service interruptions, bugs, or hidden costs? These concerns are valid… but easily avoidable with the right support.
In this article, we’ll explain why migrating is a smart move, how the process works, how working with a certified integrator can give you peace of mind, and what it typically costs.
Why migrate to a newer version of Odoo?
- Enhanced features: Each new version introduces valuable updates — improved automation, smarter modules, AI capabilities, and better mobile compatibility. These can significantly streamline your daily operations.
- A smoother user experience: The interface becomes more intuitive, faster, and more pleasant to use. Your team gains in productivity and ease of use.
- Security and compliance: Updates often include critical security patches and adjustments to meet evolving regulations (such as GDPR or electronic invoicing requirements).
- Technological compatibility: Sticking with an outdated version increases the risk of incompatibility with modern tools, browsers, or server environments.
- Technical support: Odoo S.A. does not maintain older versions indefinitely. Staying on a legacy version means reduced support and a higher risk of issues going unresolved.
The key steps to a successful migration
An Odoo migration isn’t something you can improvise — it follows a clear, structured process:
1. Technical and functional audit
We analyze your database, custom modules, and how your teams use Odoo. The goal: identify what needs to be adapted, rebuilt, or optimized.
2. Environment preparation
We install the new version of Odoo in a dedicated test environment. Your custom modules are updated to ensure full compatibility.
3. Testing and validation
Together with your team, we test all critical business functions: sales, invoicing, manufacturing, CRM, etc. Nothing is left to chance.
4. Final migration
Once everything is validated, we go live. All data is safely transferred, and we make sure the system runs smoothly without disrupting your operations.
5. Training and post-migration support
Your users are trained on new features and changes. We stay by your side during the first days to answer questions and help everyone adapt.
Why migrating with a certified Odoo partner eliminates the risk
A certified Odoo integrator knows the best practices — and the common pitfalls to avoid. They will:
✅ Identify and adapt custom modules

What does an Odoo migration cost?
Migration costs vary depending on the complexity of your setup, the number of modules involved, and how much customization has been done.
- Small migrations (standard Odoo, limited data, minimal customization): €100 to €1,200
- Medium migrations (some custom modules, full database): €1,200 to €6,000
- Complex migrations (multiple developments, multi-company setups, large data volumes): €6,000 to €80,000
We always provide a detailed quote after audit, with no hidden costs.
In conclusion : migration is a strategic investment
Migrating ensures your ERP remains a performance driver — not a bottleneck. And with the support of an experienced Odoo partner, it can be done smoothly and stress-free.
