Kentico 13 support deadline adds pressure to UK university CMS decisions

Universities across the United Kingdom running Kentico Xperience 13 face an approaching support deadline that may be receiving less attention than Drupal 10's end of life, according to a blog post published by Proximify Inc.

The post frames the issue as a strategic planning challenge for higher education institutions evaluating future content management systems. Proximify argues that organisations should assess migration effort, procurement timelines and long-term platform roadmaps before committing to replacement strategies. The company also suggests that emerging requirements such as AI-powered search and knowledge management are becoming increasingly relevant to CMS evaluations.

As part of its analysis, the article references Oxford Brookes University, which it identifies as a Kentico 13 user that launched and later terminated a CMS replacement procurement. The post uses that example to illustrate the complexity of large-scale CMS decision-making in higher education.
