The role of the CMS in the modern Composable DXP
For businesses to be competitive in a fast-paced, cut-throat marketplace, mindsets needs to change. This includes moving to an outside-in, customer-centric and outcome-focused approach.
Modern digital experience platforms (DXPs) needs to live in the high-speed development track with focus on change, fast time-to-market and innovation.
This requires a new IT mindset where business objectives are front-and-center and where the platforms are composable and agile as opposed to monolithic and feature driven.
In this session we discuss how a modern digital architecture can help a business delivery value, we explore terms such as Composable DXP, Headless CMS, Content-as-a-Service, Cloud/PaaS/SaaS and via real-world cases, we place the Umbraco product range right into all these concepts.
