What’s changing
On June 17, 2024, Liferay will change the names of its commercial offerings as follows:
Current Name | New Name |
Liferay Experience Cloud | Liferay SaaS |
Liferay Experience Cloud Self-Managed (formerly DXP Cloud) |
Liferay PaaS |
Digital Experience Platform Self-Hosted | Liferay Self-Hosted |
The name of the software product, Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP), remains unchanged.
Why Liferay is making this change
The main reason for the update is to use names that clearly reflect what each offering provides. With the new names, anyone can immediately understand what each offering is.
Nothing else is changing
For each of the above-listed offerings, the name is the only thing changing. The services, scope, benefits and all other material components included with each offering remain exactly the same as before the name change.
How we’re managing the change
For 15 months following June 17, 2024, we’ll use the new names but also reference the old offering names in most materials to ease the transition for existing customers. That means you might see text such as, “Liferay SaaS Subscription (formerly Liferay Experience Cloud)” in these places—for example, in:
- Order Forms
- Documentation
- Training Materials
- Customer Portal
- Partner Portal
By the end of this 15 month period, Liferay will fully transition to exclusively using the new names.
For materials that are primarily intended for new customers, we’ll just use the new offering names. This can include:
- Marketing materials
- Sales decks
- Most parts of Liferay.com
