Sitecore XP 10 4 | Navigating the Future of Hybrid DX | Konabos

again when we talked about the your history with the platform the overall industry has gone from this on premise solution that was based on upgrades it's nothing different about cycor this is how much of the industry was and then it went forward in the industry to this headless composable thing cycore ultimately caught up with that and has a product suite for that but I think what we're hearing now is this thing we've talked about a lot uh even with vehicles and cars is you know we had electric vehicles and then now a lot of people are using hybrid electric vehicles are you you know kind of what are you feeling about sitecore as it relates to that where they went ahead they have this composable solution but it seems like they're kind of coming back home to meet the customers where they are now well I think CYO always had this product and this Suite of solutions it's just they were vocalizing the XM Cloud more than they were vocalizing the other option right so it's not like they've just reinvented a new product that product was already sitting there they just restructured it now to actually give a clearer message to to the customers um that if you're not quite ready yet we're still here for you we still have you still have other options available for us it was great for them to double back down on their support and Contin support and Innovation around xxm that will give a lot of people a lot of certainty now that they can continue on with this product and they it's not just another 2030 announcement was made recently for extended support for 10.4 especially um but it's not just that we are going to be doing things beyond that there was mention of things like you know we will need to relook at the content editor and the experienced editor right and we had this before with Horizon and it had just got there and it got yanked back in 10.3 and people are it sends a different message right where you were putting this innovation in and you no longer are but they're sending this clear message now you know we are continuing on with XP XM you can still use it I I we've talked about this a lot I think XM is an ex is a really really great platform it always has been uh XP is has been tricky to use around the personalization and you know the scalability of that personalization particularly uh this is why I passionately feel that XM is a great platform for those customers out there you can you can supplement it with CDP and CLE personalized CLE send if you want to use some of the emails tools or use whichever email tools that you want to use um but you can then use that XM base to actually be XM cloud ready you can start to move those projects one by one piece by piece get it onto a headless architecture on Prem still using your existing licensing and your existing infrastructure it getes your teams time to up skill as well um and I think CYO seeing this now that there is this medium path where you you have to take your C cycle has to take their customers on this journey right you we we've had this before where they're like right you we we are now moving from web forms to MVC but that didn't happen overnight it was a journey for all of them and people were able to transition and they need that same breathing room now to make that transition
