CMOs: Navigating Drupal 10 Upgrade Imperative

Martech, through an article by Gene De Libero, unveils a crucial roadmap for Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) in the face of Drupal 9's end-of-life. The article underscores the urgency for CMOs to prioritize the upgrade to Drupal 10, considering the recent security advisory that ceased all support for Drupal 9 as of November 1, 2023.

The article emphasizes the technical and strategic necessity of this transition to uphold a secure, compliant, and advanced martech stack. TMotions, a Drupal service provider, views Drupal 9's end-of-life positively, presenting it as an opportunity for growth, innovation, and embracing the next evolution of Drupal. This perspective aligns with the broader implications CMOs face when contemplating the upgrade.

Operating on Drupal 9 post-end-of-life introduces security risks, as vulnerabilities may surface that will only be addressed in more recent, supported versions of Drupal. Mark Dorison, CTO at Chromatic, a web agency specializing in Drupal migrations, highlights this risk and emphasizes that while user experience and performance won't immediately degrade post-end-of-life, they will not receive further improvements, reinforcing the imperative need for an upgrade.

On the flip side, migrating to Drupal 10 provides an opportunity for CMOs to reassess and reinforce their marketing technologies. This ensures that investments in the digital ecosystem are robust and future-ready. The article encourages CMOs to explore the Drupal 10 transition, integrating upgrade and audit strategies for a seamless and forward-thinking digital presence.
