Sitecore XM Cloud is a fully managed, self-service platform for developers and marketers to launch engaging omnichannel experiences using Sitecore’s headless content management system. It’s a cloud-native SaaS and embeds cutting-edge analytics and personalization technology from Sitecore CDP and Personalize. It also has market-leading visual authoring tools for marketers and an unrivaled modern architecture for developers.
Perficient’s XM Cloud Jumpstart helps existing Sitecore customers that want to adopt XM Cloud create and execute a plan to move their MVC solutions to XM Cloud using Next.js and React. Deliver a better experience to visitors and ensure your marketing and development teams are ready to take full advantage of the platform.
Overcome obstacles to Headless & XM Cloud
Sitecore’s directional shift towards headless architecture and composable solutions may leave customers with investments in Sitecore XP struggling to envision a path to modernization.
To get there, we start by assessing your existing marketing technology stack and its ability to meet your business objectives. We then look at your established KPIs and evaluate your organizational readiness to achieve your future state. Finally, we break the future state into a sequence of projects and tasks, identifying their complexity and business impact, while understanding dependencies to properly sequence them into a roadmap.
This approach helps identify priorities, create strategic alignment, and guide decisions about where and how to embrace XM Cloud, headless, and composable strategies for driving business KPIs.
