Topic: Sitecore & SaaS, our shared journey

Abstract: Sitecore has been talking about its journey to SaaS for a while now, and with recent product releases and acquisitions this is now in full flight. Our approach is to share this journey to SaaS as our Composable DXP feature set expands over time.

 

In this session Jason and Rob will take a look at how Experience Edge, Boxever, and OrderCloud can be combined to power rich, engaging experiences for new & existing customers across all channels, with each interaction backed by insights and intelligence.

Topic: Learning to love the Sitecore upgrade process

Abstract: This presentation will entail what is involved in each step of the upgrade process and my recommendations on how to make the process as painless as impossible. Do I upgrade my databases in-place or stand up fresh databases? Do I upgrade my ORM or do I rip it out? How should I architect my solution to make upgrades easier? These questions and more will be answered in this presentation!

 

Speaker Bio:
