You may be aware that Sitecore Experience Commerce 9 was announced at the NRF 2018: Retail’s Big Show  with much excitement.  This year everyone will be talking about it. A lot has changed from Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 that will make things easier and faster.  If you are upgrading from an older version there are a […]

Slack is quiet.  “The calm before the Sym” says Mike Reynolds.  I board my flight on Sunday and I am in packing mode.  Cab ordered already.  Safe flight in to everyone. I will be logging my journey to Symposium here. I have been to many Symposiums and Dreamcores over the year but this will be […]

Last night I awoke and quickly wrote down this poem: Content is King, Commerce is Queen. Who will buy If your product is not seen. If Content is King and Commerce is Queen, then Relevant Search is the Crown. Through the power of Coveo Machine Learning and integration with all 3 pieces of the triangle, […]

Everybody knows that businesses run on the 3 C’s: Contact Relationship Management, Content Management Systems, and Commerce; however, most would argue that this is a pyramid where CRM represents your customers, they access the website, and they purchase products: Successful businesses see this as a triangle, with CRM representing all your contacts, CMS representing all […]

Are you new to Sitecore Commerce? Well, you are not alone. There is a lot of excitement about Sitecore Commerce this year. With the introduction of Sitecore Commerce 8.2.1 and the new feature set, it is definitely ready for prime time. The challenge faced is a familiar one to anybody attempting to rapidly learn a […]

The second day of the 2017 Sitecore Symposium will consist of lots of coffee for breakfast and then the first session. I look forward to your assistance in choosing. 10:00 am – 10:45 am – HELP! Choosing the first session will be very difficult. This particular block has three sessions I want to attend: new extension points […]

There has always been an amazing amount of quality sessions at Sitecore Symposium, but this year it feels like there is “infinite content” available. Luckily, the sessions are separated into tracks. As a techie, the Developer Track is for me, but it is still not an easy choice. I have read the PDF for the […]

It is less than 80 days now until the big event (well, big event for some of us). I am registered and booked my flight, but there is still a long road forward. If you have not registered, heed my warning: it will sell out fast. Next is choosing and booking your Pre-Symposium Seminars. There […]

As winter is coming in Canada and there will be family fun in the snow, we have been brainstorming on the Sitecore Family-Friendly Conference and had some interest however not enough yet for a full conference. After looking a bit harder we realized that it is hard to do 2 conferences in a year and since […]

On Tuesday October 11, 2016 an amazing event is happening in Quebec.  The very first of many Sitecore User Groups will take place in Quebec.  The discussion will be on Sitecore 8.2 and 8.3 and I hear there will be sampling of the Canadian Salad or Poutine (This last part has not been confirmed). I […]

The conference was a whirlwind of knowledge so much that there is no way to tell you all that I learned.  I will focus on 2 key messages I got from the sessions I attended, the keynotes and from talking to people at the events. Demand More The next Billionaire will be the one who […]

As the sun rises on the final day of the conference, we awake knowing everyone will fly out and we will miss all our friends from around the world.  As Michael said after the Mardi Gras band played, the moment is gone either you cherished that moment or you missed it. My wish for everyone […]
