Is migrating to Sitecore XM Cloud worth considering?
Sitecore has announced a new product called XM Cloud, a web content management system (CMS) that offers the best of the two primary CMS architectures: a headless CMS’s front-end flexibility and the monolithic CMS’s capabilities for authoring content and experience. Sitecore is changing its focus to composable, and the availability of XM Cloud benefits customers who are interested in the new direction.
Sitecore believes that the future of digital-experience management is?composable. That means that brands can select the products they prefer from the vendors of their choice, and that those products can work together to support the entire production lifecycle of digital experience. Since Sitecore offers most of the products brands typically need for that lifecycle, brands can rely on Sitecore as their only vendor.
However, a composable approach varies from the monolithic approach on which Sitecore XM and XP are based. With the monolith, all those features are a part of Sitecore itself, and you cannot separate, remove, or update them without replacing the entire system. Given today’s requirements for digital experiences, the monolithic’s disadvantages greatly outweigh its advantages. Not surprisingly, therefore, companies like Sitecore, whose flagship product is a monolith, are embracing the composable approach.
Brands are well aware of the differences between the composable and the monolithic approach. Vastly different are the products, the pricing model, and the way in which sites are built, deployed, and delivered. By embracing Sitecore’s new direction, brands are in for major changes.
