Is Sitecore the Right CMS for Your Industry?


Sitecore CMS (Content Management System) and Sitecore DMS (Digital Marketing System), along with a host of other peripheral tools like the Sitecore Experience Platform, offer the complete package when it comes to curating marketing strategies and executing outreach. Thanks to its versatility, Sitecore developers have consistently explored new means of leveraging the technology to improve marketing efforts for several billion-dollar industries.

Here are just a few of the ways Sitecore is being used for content marketing in the healthcare, retail, and education industries:
Sitecore for Healthcare 

Adhering to healthcare industry standards when conducting population health initiatives can be a logistical nightmare, which is why Sitecore’s unparalleled flexibility is such a benefit. Healthcare organizations like hospitals and private practices that serve complex, diverse populations must have a content marketing strategy that can serve these different groups accordingly. Leveraging flexible templating and a centralized platform for multi-site management, Sitecore CMS platforms allow healthcare marketers to manage and customize their content easily.

Sitecore DMS also facilitates in-depth analytics and reports necessary to engage health populations with important information and resources. Sitecore platforms are incredibly interoperable, thanks to a number of pre-programmed APIs. An experienced software development partner will be able to aid in integrating the many disparate systems necessary to running healthcare-related digital marketing efforts. 
Sitecore for Retail and E-Commerce 

Sitecore is used widely in retail and e-commerce thanks to its customer lifecycle management tools, real-time experience management app, and omnichannel marketing features. The Sitecore Experience Platform allows e-commerce marketers to see how customers interact with brands across channels, collecting information on device types, social media interaction, search histories, sales funnel status, and more.

One such example is contextual intelligence using session cookies to track customer behavior and create user profiles. Rules engines help to micro-target customers and identify which ones are more valuable when it comes to personalized marketing efforts. Retail marketers can also use omnichannel automation to ensure that customers receive a consistent experience whether they are on a company website, social media channel, and even in a brick-and-mortar store. Ultimately, Site core will help eradicate data duplication and poor pathways that lead to site abandonment. 

Sitecore for Education & E-Learning 

Public high schools, private colleges, trade schools, and all other educational institutions in the 21st century depend on their ability to deliver the best educational content to their students. Sitecore CMS lets educators consolidate student data and then leverage Sitecore tools to develop and distribute the best learning materials similarly to how they would with a Learning Content Management System (LCMS).

Many schools boast custom-branded digital systems and email platforms, something which can be easily executed using Sitecore CMS’s mass distribution features. In terms of marketing schools themselves to prospective students, Sitecore makes personalized outreach and candidate tracking simple. Sitecore DMS also offers contextual intelligence software and intuitive reporting apps that aid in all these operations.
Professionals in these industries (or any other that benefits from regular engagement with a CMS) should consider hiring a custom Sitecore software developer with industry-specific experience to integrate and configure the platform for maximum engagement and ROI.

Why You Should Choose Joomla! for Your CMS Needs


While WordPress has tried to brand itself as the most novice-friendly CMS on the market, and Drupal has tried to capitalize on the attention it gets from more hardcore software developers, Joomla! Content Management Systems (CMS) has been happy to fill in the gaps, offering a versatile CMS platform that works for businesses and marketing departments of all kinds.

 Here are just a few of the advantages of choosing Joomla! for website design and development:

Customization and Control! Whether you’re a developer looking to create a truly custom web application, or just a small business hoping to quickly launch a fresh new website on which to advertise your services, Joomla! is designed to accommodate your needs

Plugins! WordPress may offer a greater library of plug-ins when it comes to pure numbers, but Joomla! takes the cake for its variety of plug-ins and its superior organizational structure, allowing users to find and deploy the most appropriate script in significantly less time.

Marketing and E-Commerce Solutions! Joomla! boasts a huge directory for just its e-commerce extensions, making it easy for anyone to set up a digital storefront with shopping carts, payment processing, and loyalty management built in. Not to mention, Joomla! designed its CMS with social media networking in mind.

Support for Days! Few open-source enterprise software platforms of any kind have as much open documentation and as many deployment-ready website templates available as Joomla!. It’s expansive tutorial list and active development community is also a huge boon to first-time developers.

Companies looking to hire a Joomla!developer should seriously consider contracting a custom software development company with experience configuring CMS platforms for individual business needs.
