Continuous Delivery

Making website and content

configuration changes on multiple

environments often results in conflicts

during continuous delivery updates.

Sitefinity 9.2 streamlines this process

and eliminates potential conflicts by

restricting file-based configuration

changes on certain environments and

storing others in the database, instead

of the file system.

Delivering Optimal Experiences is VERY Complicated

We’ve been talking personalization for

a long time but…

• Tools are fragmented

• Omni-channel success is illusive

Even if you manage to tie your

customer-facing systems, it’s legacy

the moment you roll it out…

• Very complicated

• Low velocity

Giving customers the right thing at the right time…

DigitalFactory

DigitalFactory is a cloud-based digital acceleration platform that helps

organizations to engage with customers in the right way at the right time, driving better conversions, higher

loyalty and increased revenue.

It does so by optimizing customer engagement

across all digital channels, tracking a comprehensive view of the customer journey,

deriving insights that drive actions

Unlike others, we are NOT focused on IT or Marketing. We are focused on bringing

them TOGETHER.

Business Challenge

Creating and managing a few websites and mobile apps

is easy. But crafting digital properties at scale with

speed, efficiency, proper governance and security—all

while delivering a consistent, personalized customer

experience, that’s a major challenge.

Progress DigitalFactory addresses these challenges, so

you can focus on delivering business results.
