Ten things to get right before you replatform

Ten considerations for managing a replatform, built with strategist James Gurd and grounded in LeMieux's 197% year-on-year revenue growth.

If you're weighing up a replatform — or just circling it — the questions arrive faster than the answers. Who owns the decision. What it really costs over five years. How you keep the business onside while the build runs.

We worked with eCommerce strategist James Gurd to set out the top ten considerations for managing a replatforming project: governance, TCO modelling, stakeholder comms, tech stack alignment, and the rest of the unglamorous work that decides whether a migration lands.

It's built around a real project. LeMieux grew revenue 197% year on year, and the guide covers how that was managed rather than just what the end result looked like.

Inside you'll find:

  • clear steps to assess whether your platform is holding you back

  • a full project roadmap, from discovery to launch

  • what to look for when you're choosing an agency to grow with

Replatforming isn't a technology decision with a business consequence. It's a business decision with a technology consequence — and the order matters.
