Breaking free from the Monolithic Era
Gone are the days of the monolithic era, where businesses were confined to all-in-one solutions that often led to fragmented digital stacks. It used to appear to be more efficient to buy a new monolithic system, rather than share components in a new architecture.
Sitecore's XM Cloud (Experience Manager Cloud) offers a game-changing alternative, providing a composable architecture that enables you to handpick the best products for your content, commerce, and experience management needs.
Understanding the Composable Era
Dave O’Flanagan. Sitecore’s Chief Product Officer, defines the composable era, saying:
“We believe in a future where brands can assemble a stack as unique as their customers and business”.
A composable approach ensures that every aspect of your digital experience is tailored to your specific needs, making your business more efficient and customer-centric.
Sitecore’s XM Cloud
Sitecore has moved into the composable era with the creation of the XM Cloud. Sitecore’s O’Flanagan states that the XM Cloud:
“provides marketers with an end-to-end, SaaS-based solution that not only helps them meet consumer expectations but also delivers a best-of-class customer experience”.
The XM Cloud consists of and incorporates the latest version of Experience Manager, the pages editor, Sitecore headless CMS Accelerator (SXA), Headless Services, the Sitecore Next.js SDK (and other heads), and Experience Edge.
The XM Cloud is fully managed by a self-service deployment platform for developers and marketers to efficiently launch engaging omnichannel experiences in the cloud using Sitecore’s headless CMS. It takes out heavyweight marketing capabilities, leaving a lightweight and composable solution.
Why go composable?
If you're still wondering why the composable approach is the way forward, consider these key benefits:
- Market agility
- API-driven adaptability
- Content, commerce, and engagement clouds
- Enhanced experiences for users, customers, and developers
- Personalised customer journeys
- Customised end solutions
- Infinite scalability
- Speed to market
- Enterprise-grade cloud
- Interoperability
Nina Anderson, ClerksWell’s Client Service Director, states why businesses should move to a composable approach:
“A composable architecture is not only agile and user-friendly but also cost-effective, as it enables you to utilise only the software your business truly needs.”
The XM Cloud addressed the difficulties and challenges faced by both marketers and developers, empowering marketers to build and curate the front end and developers to implement and maintain the back end.
The future of the digital landscape is composable architecture, and Sitecore's XM Cloud is leading the way.
