Overview
Organizations around the world choose Sitecore as their leading digital experience software to create personalized digital experiences. Gartner has recognized the platform in their Gartner Magic Quadrant 2022, and have continued to acknowledge the software in more recent evaluations.
The question of "what is Sitecore?" is a common one, as it can be described as a DXP, xDB, or simply a CMS. So, which is it?
Sitecore's roots began as a content management system (CMS) built on .NET. Since then, the platform has evolved beyond content management into a comprehensive digital experience platform (DXP) that offers a wide range of features, including commerce and marketing tools, to help businesses create engaging and personalized experiences throughout the customer journey.
Features
Sitecore is once again reinventing itself with the launch of its first end-to-end SaaS composable digital experience platform (DXP), which empowers immersive customer experiences that span everything from content to commerce. Although Sitecore is committed to its on-premises suite of products, the company has made significant investments in venturing into SaaS and cloud-based solutions.
This move by Sitecore supports a transition from the older-style "monolithic" systems, where all the features are built into one product and used together, to the modern "composable" style, where each main feature is a separate product that can be used independently. This approach provides developers with even more flexibility.
