SITECORE SYMPOSIUM 2020: NEW PRODUCT INNOVATIONS

This year’s Sitecore Symposium was a virtual one, and the conference theme was “Moments that make experiences”. To establish human connections, brands can create moments with their customers to build experiences and a long relationship with the customers.

Traditionally, the Symposium started with a keynote from the CEO of Sitecore. Steve Tzikakis talked about the ambition to be the number one Digital Experience Platform in the world. He also talked about the acceleration to the cloud in the next coming months.

Here are the most exciting new announced features and things to come! Spoiler keywords: SaaS, CaaS, Jamstack, AI, Headless!

Sitecore AI Auto Personalization

We all know personalization takes a lot of effort to set up. You need to analyze audiences, put op a content plan, create modular content and set up personalization techniques on your components. Often, we see that personalization is a key element to choose for Sitecore but is kept for “phase 2”.

That’s the reason Sitecore announced Sitecore AI Auto Personalization on last year’s Symposium.
