A trio of presenters at the Gartner Portal, Content, and Collaboration Summit in Las Vegas gave a talk on “Delivering on the Digital Experience Promise”. I found this to be insightful as a case study, but not revolutionary, more evolutionary. It was a great study in increasing loyalty and revenue from customers. The trio included: […]

By the size of the line to get into this session, I’d say that Digital Asset Management is a hot topic. Elliot Sedegah and Greg Klebus from Adobe shared the top new DAM features in the AEM. First, DAM in Adobe is now called Adobe Experience Manager Assets. Managing digital assets can be a tedious […]

Scott Hanselman published his 2014 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows this past Saturday. I look forward to this blog post because it is a great gut check to review the tool set I like […]

To review, here’s our empty shell of a solution: As you […]

For my fellow Sitecore enthusiasts (and for those that know BrainJocks, because Tommy is relentlessly pestering me to do this), I’d like to share some best practices on properly setting up a solution for Sitecore development. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things that you have to get right when starting […]

What is Platform as a Service (PaaS)?  How does it differ from Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)? Let’s start with IaaS.  When “The Cloud” first became popular IaaS was the target.  The point of IaaS is to migrate a company data center into Windows Azure.  This involves converting whatever physical servers you have to Hyper-V […]
