Digital transformation continues accelerating across enterprises as organizations seek to engage customers through advanced online experiences across channels. Recent reports show that over half of companies have an executive digital leader driving omnichannel strategies centered around personalized, seamless customer journeys.
To power these initiatives at scale, most established companies are strategically moving beyond limited legacy content management systems (CMS) and digital asset management (DAM) solutions to advanced digital experience platforms (DXP) like Sitecore.
Traditional CMS tools offer simplistic web content editing capabilities but lack critical components like persona-based experiences, testing, integrated marketing tools, robust analytics, and omnichannel content reuse.
DAM solutions focus specifically on rich media management but have no content authoring or channel delivery capabilities. This leaves gaps in realizing true omnichannel engagement.
Sitecore XP was designed from the ground up to solve these limitations and unify enterprise customer understanding, content production, and experience delivery into a single leading web experience management platform built specifically for multichannel digital marketing strategies.
Sitecore XP Platform Overview
The Sitecore Experience Platform (XP) provides a highly extensible, secure, and scalable digital marketing foundation for managing content, assets, data insights, and multichannel delivery.
Powered by an advanced ASP.NET backend powered by SQL Server, Azure, or MongoDB databases, Sitecore delivers enterprise-class content authoring, robust DAM, integrated analytics, flexible personalization, A/B testing, automation, and more in a single cohesive ecosystem to optimize end-to-end customer engagement.
Sitecore handles billions of monthly page views for industry leaders through modern container-based cloud infrastructure designed to flexibly scale up securely on managed Azure, AWS, or on-prem environments while meeting demanding cybersecurity and platform resiliency standards like SOC 2 and high-availability redundancy.
Granular role-based access control, SSL/TLS encryption, integrated Identity servers with LDAP/SAML support, and options for isolated password encryption combined with infrastructure-level DDoS protection ensure organizations can safely digitally transform while meeting internal governance policies and external compliance regulations like HIPAA and GDPR based on flexible data management controls and retention policies.
Powerful APIs and microservices allow organizations to efficiently integrate Sitecore’s unmatched capabilities into other core marketing and commerce systems from CRMs to product databases and beyond while avoiding vendor lock-in. This enables consolidating martech stacks onto a unified enterprise platform optimizing experiences across channels.
