Always work with an up-to-date Magento
Why should I have a Magento update? It works just fine as it is, right? A question we often get when we advise a customer to consider an update to the latest version of Magento.
Magento plans a new release on a tight schedule every three months. Along with the new release, a patch is released for the previous release. For older releases support usually expires. In practice, you are therefore on an unsupported release after about 6 months. This applies not only to the Magento core but also to all plug-ins & extensions.
Vicus has been building webshops since 2004. We have now built more than 340 webshops, of which over 197 are in Magento.

Unique update subscription
with only benefits!
- Collective updates have less overhead - Especially if updates have been skipped, it's figuring out every time. This makes separate occasional updates expensive.
- Update per version lowers complexity- If you keep up with the versions, the difference between versions is smaller and therefore more manageable. Chances of problems and conflicts are then also smaller.
- Collective updates reduce costs - If we update your shop together with other customers at the same time, we will be able to solve issues in your shop more quickly.
- Always up to date - We can update your shop as soon as a new version is found to be stable. So you are always up to date with the latest security insights, performance improvements, bug fixes and new features.
Many customers have already experienced the benefits of an update subscription.
Substantial Magento updates(s)
An update is a big job because of the often huge amount of modules, customizations and links. Modules such as social media, labels, logistics and links with Web Analytics, payment providers, customer ratings and logistics fulfillment centers.
