Immediate: Relevant: Predictive. That's where Sitecore is taking us this year. The demo of the well known Nikam fake product website was telling of how they're looking towards a more integrated toolset. Sitecore isn't selling their product as a standalone utility, but more of a tool that helps you integrate your increasingly growing end points to help you draw a more complete image of your entity.
I'm at Sitecore Symposium in sunny Las Vegas and I'm going to be writing a series of articles covering the developer track that I'm attending. I'll be trying to live blog where I can.
So far I've met a lot of great people starting with the New England Sitecore user group that filled the plane I was on to get here. There's also a lot of great partners like Oasis, where I originally cut my teeth, and Velir. There's also a lot of great tech companies in attendance like Brightcove who is obiously near and dear to my heart.
It's Sitecore's largest most energetic showing. There's also a record number of people in attendance. All in all the event should be a standout for not only the developers who already love the platform but especially for the clients who are coalescing around Sitecore to power their growing web strategies.
