Now that Sitecore Symposium is a week in the rear-view mirror, and I have power back from Sandy destroying the East Coast, I thought it’s time to get a post out about my experience at Symposium this year.  So here goes… First, I was quite happy with the venue change.  I’m not really big on […]

A client recently had a need for using multiple instances of a single sub-layout that had Sitecore placeholders on it.  They discovered that when they tried implementing this, they ended up with duplicate / replicated data in each placeholder of the sub-layout that was used multiple times.  Searching for an answer, we came across this […]

Sometimes when introducing prospective clients to the awesome software that is Sitecore, we face a little bit of a pushback from the IT groups.  This is because a lot of those IT groups include developers who have been working very hard at creating custom applications to suit their companies.  As a developer who spent 5 […]

Congratulations to our partner, Sitecore. They were recently named as a Leader by Gartner in the recently published Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management. As a user of Sitecore, I believe this award is well deserved! This 2012 Magic Quadrant positions Sitecore among the Leaders, recognizing those firms that demonstrate both completeness of vision and […]

Gartner recently issued their 2012 version of the Web Content Management Magic Quadrant.  This year’s version looks similar to last year’s version with Oracle, SDL, SiteCore, Adobe, HP (Autonomy), Extron, and OpenText all making the Leaders quadrant.  IBM and Microsoft are in the Challengers quadrant once again. You can see the entire report on Gartner’s […]

Last week I wrote a blog post about a fix for the bug you will get in Sitecore 6.6 rev 120622 when you try utilizing DMS Personalization on an MVC site.  If you are interested in using the Sitecore Test Lab, which allows Content Editors to create A/B and Multivariate Tests on their content in the […]

While I pre-ordered my copy of John West’s Professional Sitecore Development book, and received it from Amazon pretty much on the earliest possible date, I’m just now finding the time to get into it.  I hope to write a few blog posts detailing my thoughts on the book and passages I think are especially important, […]

This blog post may seem a bit unnecessary, especially to anyone who’s already worked a fair amount with Sitecore.  Yet I’m rather surprised by the number of clients we’ve worked with who have already purchased Sitecore and made the decision to go with it but aren’t sure how to realize its full potential because of […]

If you’ve used or implemented any type of software at a moderate degree, it’s very likely you’ve had to deal with official support for at least a little bit.  I recently had to contact the support team for Sitecore, and I’ve written a blog post detailing my experience.  The post is on Sitecore.net under the […]

Lately the topic of gamification has been getting a lot of press.  Even here on the Perficient blogs, we’ve had some great gamification posts and white papers, covering a full spectrum from specific technology platforms (IBM Connections), entire solutions (Intranet) to the broad industries (Healthcare).  As an avid gamer, I love that something I have […]
