The power of Sitecore with the speed and scale of Microsoft Azure
In today’s competitive drive for customer attention, every millisecond matters.
Companies are turning to cloud technologies and flexible digital experience
platforms to quickly launch, deploy, and scale marketing programs and
campaigns in minutes—not days, weeks, or months.
The power of two: Sitecore Experience Cloud™ and Microsoft Azure
With the hundreds of digital marketing and cloud technologies available today,
it can be challenging to choose the right cloud infrastructure and marketing
tools that deliver great results. The combination of the Sitecore Experience
Cloud and Microsoft Azure outperform and outpace other offerings. Pairing
Sitecore’s industry-leading content management system and digital marketing
and commerce platforms (together called Sitecore Experience Cloud) with the
reliability, speed, and scale of Microsoft Azure gives brands the ultimate market
advantage to deliver highly personalized digital experiences.
Personalized content at scale
With Sitecore Experience Cloud on Microsoft Azure, you can manage a global
organization and marketing operation with multiple sites, stores, regions, and
languages in a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment. Sitecore’s robust
content management, digital marketing, and commerce platforms allow
you to develop and share content across hundreds of sites with a consistent
experience—regardless of language, location, or device. And because our
system decouples content from presentation, your content looks good wherever
it’s consumed.
At the heart of Sitecore Experience Cloud on Microsoft Azure is the Sitecore®
Experience Database™ (xDB), a data repository that collects all your visitors’
interaction data. Utilizing Sitecore xConnect and Federated Experience
Manager, you can extend tracking to all digital channels. Easily overcome data
silos and combine data from email, search, social, CRM, and other sources with
the interaction data from your site. And as your customer base and customer
interaction data increase, you will be able to draw ever-increasing contextual
insights about how each individual visitor experiences your brand. To maximize
the relevance of these experiences, you will need highly scalable storage for your
customer interaction data. Microsoft Azure can provide the storage capacity
to scale with the growth of xDB for capturing this data to deliver the right
experiences at the right time.
Analyze and optimize every interaction
Through the data repository of the Sitecore Experience Database and scalability
provided by Microsoft Azure, Sitecore can provide insights with greater accuracy
at speed. Sitecore Cortex™, Sitecore’s native machine learning tool, is constantly
learning from xDB data to provide insights that will almost instantly improve
your customer experience. However, the best part is that with Microsoft Azure
you don’t have to worry about these processes affecting the performance of
your site. Combining Sitecore Cortex with existing Sitecore digital marketing
capabilities means companies can:
