MIGRATION STEPS
Migrating is easy as 1-2-3
You’ll be fully supported to migrate your WoodWing software to the cloud with our proven three-stage process.
Discover and define
Discovering your unique roadmap and defining the exact steps to success.
You’ll work with your account manager to audit your current environment - including current software versions, integrations, automations, database versions, customizations, storage needs, and more. We have a handy questionnaire to help.
Equipped with this information, we can start planning your migration journey together.
Prepare and test
Preparing your current system to migrate and testing your new cloud environment.
You’ll prepare your current environment for migration to the cloud, according to your roadmap. The exact steps will be unique to you but might include archiving past magazine issues or older assets, and removing unnecessary users.
At the same time, we’ll be working to prepare your WoodWing cloud environment, ready for you to test.
Migrate and launch
Migrating your content and launching your cloud with users.
Once you’ve signed the test, we’ll manage migration for you and fix any last-minute issues. Some customers prefer to do this step during production downtime.
Then you just need to notify users that migration was successful and be available to support any user issues in the first few days. We can help with that too.
Faster functionality
Your in-house IT team is overstretched, so development requests can take time. With WoodWing Cloud, you’re always our top priority, meaning you can add new functionality fast.

Frequently asked questions
Here are the answers to some of the frequently asked questions about migrating to the WoodWing Cloud.
For deeper insights and more information, please visit the Help Center.
How long does it take to migrate to the cloud?
There is a usual two weeks lead time for the initial stand-up of the environment, and a typical migration can take as little as a few days. However, this depends on the source environment's complexity and the amount of data that needs to be migrated to the cloud.
How much does it cost to migrate to the cloud?
This depends on the size and complexity of the source environment. If you have an environment with complex integrations or a large amount of data, then we recommend contacting your WoodWing partner or WoodWing’s Professional Support team to help you manage the migration. Simple, small migrations have little to no “migration cost”.
Do I need to be on the latest version before I migrate?
It is recommended that you upgrade your local environment to the latest supported WoodWing Cloud versions.
How much does additional storage cost?
Pricing for supplemental storage can be inquired with your WoodWing partner or by contacting our Sales representatives.
Can we keep our concurrent seat setup?
WoodWing Cloud operated under a “Monthly Active User” model, which is different than the traditional concurrency model that we have used in the past. The details of this new model can be found in the following link.
What happens to my data if there is an outage?
Your data is safe! It’s stored on AWS’s highly durable S3 storage and backed up to another AWS region.
How often do we receive an upgrade, and what happens if there is an issue with a new version?
Upgrades happen on different frequencies depending on the product. WoodWing Studio is updated monthly, WoodWing Studio Server and WoodWing Assets are updated twice a year. If you have an issue with a new version, contact WoodWing Support to get assistance.
Can I integrate my current LDAP/AD?
We support integration with most LDAP systems provided that they use LDAPS and a common certificate. Another option for Identity Management is SSO; we support customer-owned and managed AWS Cognito and Okta.
What do I do when I need to add a new user or remove an old user?
That depends upon the application and if you have integrated your systems with LDAP/SSO. In the latter case, all user management is done via the source LDAP/SSO system. If you are using local Studio Server users, then it’s done via the Studio Server admin UI. In any case, the management of users is completely under your control.
What happens if I use more storage than I am allocated?
We’ve got you covered! Storage will grow with use automatically and with no interruption in service. You will be charged in arrears for any storage usage that exceeds your entitlement.
Will my existing scripts and plugins still work with WoodWing Studio?
That depends. Not all self-hosted Studio Server plugins are supported in WoodWing Cloud. There is an Integrations Rulebook that provides guidelines to help you modify your existing integrations to be compatible. WoodWing or your partner can help you define a plan to migrate your scripts and plugins during the discover and define phase.
I have an admin user that logs in occasionally to make changes to users or workflows. Do they need a full license?
Yes. WoodWing Cloud counts administrators as a “Monthly Active User”.
I currently have an InDesign Server running. Can I use that to generate PDFs or previews in WoodWing Studio Cloud?
To generate previews in WoodWing Cloud’s Studio client, you need an InDesign Server hosted in the WoodWing Cloud.
