Sitecore

The 2024 Sitecore Symposium highlighted the growing impact of AI-generated content on the CMS landscape. This article delves into how AI is poised to disrupt traditional content authoring and how it can seamlessly integrate into marketer workflows. From efficiency gains to enhanced personalization, explore the implications of this technology for businesses leveraging Sitecore and other digital experience platforms.

Migrating to a headless architecture in Sitecore is a significant undertaking, and success often hinges on careful planning and phased implementation. This article introduces the "Canary Model" for headless migration, an approach where a smaller website is selected as the initial migration candidate. This strategy helps assess business readiness, establish foundational architecture for broader migrations, and secure an early success with a live release.

Migrating a Sitecore site from an MVC-based architecture to a headless setup is a significant step toward modernizing a digital experience platform. This article explores the business and technical readiness factors that should guide such a decision. It discusses considerations like the technical skillset of your team, alternative paths using .NET Core rendering technologies, and how future strategies like SaaS adoption might influence your approach.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a critical component of managing enterprise-scale Sitecore implementations, especially in scenarios with a large number of sites, content authors, or diverse access requirements. This article explores strategies for designing a custom role structure in Sitecore to handle complex permissions effectively. Topics include balancing scalability, security, and usability in role definitions and aligning them with organizational needs.

Composable DXPs rely on diverse systems and services to deliver modern digital experiences. This article examines the Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer, a middleware solution designed to bridge the gap between headless applications and downstream domain services. It focuses on how a BFF layer, tightly coupled to the presentation layer, simplifies integration, enhances performance, and supports scalable architecture.

With the development of SXA Headless and Sitecore’s move towards composable dxp, many are using this as an opportunity to ditch a lot of legacy code and plan a move to a greenfields instance of 10.3, or down the saas path with an instance of XM Cloud. The question arises as to how we migrate the content that we can reuse (datasources containing blog post copy for example) from our old version while avoiding an upgrade.

One of the strengths of Sitecore Ordercloud as a product is the flexibility to very easily append the default ‘commerce’ data model properties (e.g. price, description) with custom properties that more closely match your domain model (e.g. lipstick shade).
