The DCPList

In a fast-paced program, VShift Managing Director Eric Feige and Contentful Evangelist Nicole France help business executives and marketing technologists understand why decoupling using MACH technologies (microservices, APIs, cloud-native and headless) is rapidly being adopted by innovation-focused organizations.

Through innovations in “headless” experience delivery capabilities over the last several years, CMSes have undergone a renaissance with their role and capabilities in digital experience delivery for enterprises.

Nicole has a background as an analyst with both Gartner and Constellation Research, she’s also been almost 6 years with Fujitsu, worked in both the US and Europe and now she’s Evangelist, Director of Content at Contentful.

Focused on content modeling, content architecting, content governance, content authoring, Headless CMS, Headless Commerce and Jamstack.

In 2019, VShift Managing Director, Technology Dan Anderson published “Conscious Decoupling: The Future of Web Development,” an article describing the composable business benefits of a headless CMS and a decoupled approach – relatively new concepts at the time.

Are you looking to modernize your tech stack but feel hamstrung by your legacy systems? If so, you're not alone.

Software developers spend their days chasing the elusive “flow state:” headphones on, Slack notifications paused, dev environment humming along, context switching to a minimum, and delivering a significant amount of valuable code and/or solving a hard problem.

The global digital transformation market size was estimated at USD 556.44 billion in 2022 and it is expected to reach over USD 1,692.40 billion by 2030.

The ongoing shift toward digital business models marks the next era of digital transformation.

Businesses need help to adapt and adapt fast. And technology is a big part of being able to do just that. The MACH Alliance advocates for a new approach to enterprise technology. An open and agile approach.

So much choice quickly becomes overwhelming and, without proper governance or martech expertise, produces messy, ineffective results.

When I founded Contentful it was clear to me that there were no content management systems that enabled developers, so we had to build one.

As business needs change, organizations must be able to deliver innovation quickly and adapt applications dynamically — reassembling capabilities from inside and outside the enterprise. To do this, organizations must understand and implement the “composable enterprise.”

Business leaders are heading for composable infrastructures, putting aside large and bulky traditional systems. Demand for increased flexibility and scale is driven by rapidly advancing technology and rising customer expectations.

For more than a decade, marketers have struggled to tame the beast that is the Marketing Tech Stack. Drowning in a sea of DMPs, CRMs, CDPs, and DSPs, many brands chose to go with an "all-in-one" platform, hoping to make their lives easier.

Modernize Your Legacy Code for a Cloud-Native World

There is a broad market for content management solutions, ranging from traditional website-based systems to decoupled or hybrid solutions and enterprise-wide content solutions.

In this webinar, get the inside scope on major martech trends, how the structure of the industry is changing, and solid advice for how to better harness martech in your own organization.

Customer expectations are disrupting every market, and traditional enterprise technology suites can’t keep up.

Eight years ago, I co-hosted a lively meetup of the San Francisco Drupal Users Group. The topic was "Headless Drupal: Working Code and Call to Action." It had the feel of the start of something—the kind of buzz that gives Silicon Valley its magic.

A modular approach can help enterprise-scale businesses with a fast, reliable way to roll out critical digital initiatives.

Most software developers work within project-oriented teams, since most companies are not startup vendors that can constantly reinvent themselves and deliver hot new products to market.

The internet is crowded. Over the last decade, a new generation of technologies have emerged letting teams create experiences that stand out, increase conversions, and change with their customers.

With everyone looking for a silver bullet, each new technology, trend, or favored toolset promises to lead us out of the pain of development and into the utopia of perfection.

Many of us have spent at least a few hours playing with Lego. Part of Lego's appeal is that you can build exactly what you want. You can create a dinosaur one minute and a spaceship the next.

Enable digital business growth in your organization despite persistent uncertainty.

View solutions for manufacturing companies lies in the concept of “composable business.”

There are over 8000 players in the martech ecosystem. To take advantage of the innovation within that ecosystem, businesses are turning to MACH architecture.

In the Jamstack world the word "decoupling" is thrown around a lot, and it can be intimidating to not actually understand that as a concept when it seems so prevalent.

We’re on the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, but global enterprises are still feeling day-to-day turbulence that impacts business. Customers want access from more touchpoints than ever and organizations are striving to meet customer demands while keeping customer data secure — all while remaining profitable.

In the large monolithic application development days of yesteryear, deploying an application was no trivial task. It started with a purchase order for multiple servers, followed by several days of racking, wiring, and configuring.

Our global study assesses the progress and business impact of digital transformation across industries, regions, and operational areas.

One of the most exciting trends in the software development world today is what has come to be known as the JAMstack. Originally coined by Mathias Biilmann, the co-founder of Netlify, the term literally stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, but has become synonymous with modern web development.
