Our Masterclass program

Let's face it: Content Management is one of the most important success factors for IT and web projects these days. So we make our big CMS dinosaur the center of our software architecture? That might have worked 10 or 20 years ago, but along came the cloud, which, after all, was an extinction-level event for dinosours, even if not all of them have already noticed.

Today, we have to integrate our CMS with CRMs, ERPs, PIMs, custom code and a bunch of other cloud services. How do we do this, and more importantly, how can we get from where we are to where we need to be?

This is a workshop about software architecture. There will be no code, but we will get technical. The concepts we introduce are universally applicable regardless of which system(s) you use, or plan to use. You don't have to be a software developer to take part in this workshop, everybody who is interested is more than welcome to join.

Unfortunately, the Masterclass Mastering Personalisation at Scale has to be cancelled at short notice.

In this talk, we'll dive into the revolutionary shift from traditional Content Management Systems (CMS) to Digital Experience Platforms (DXP). We'll explore how the demand for personalized experiences, integrated marketing tools, and omnichannel delivery is driving this change. This transition is reshaping the landscape, pushing digital agencies and system integrators to acquire new skills and embrace integrated solutions. We'll delve into the disruptive power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and low-code platforms, showing how they enhance content creation, personalization, and automation. These technologies are transforming traditional business models, emphasizing efficiency and threatening the core services of digital agencies. A critical part of the discussion will focus on the importance of data management. We'll explain how software categories like Product Information Management (PIM), Master Data Management (MDM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), Customer Data Platforms (CDP), DXP, and eCommerce are merging to create cohesive digital experiences. This integration is essential for solving the EBIT problem facing digital agencies by improving time to value. Join us to understand why embracing these modern technologies is crucial for staying competitive. We'll highlight the importance of efficiency and automation as key factors for success in the evolving content management industry.
