Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless have secured their place ​​in the business world. These concepts have existed in their own right for some time and are already fairly well known, but the umbrella term MACH is new. Will it soon be mentioned in the same breath as Cloud and SaaS? And when will it be worth investing in it? Find out in this white paper.

The composable approach to architecture is known for its flexibility, scalability and the freedom it offers. However, many organisations have to deal with legacy, are tied to long-term contracts with software providers or simply don’t have the right people and in-house processes. So how do you switch from a traditional IT architecture to a composable one? This article gives you a realistic insight into this transition.

Que pouvons-nous offrir qui résiste à l'imprévisible, à l'évolution des besoins des consommateur·rice·s et aux bouleversements économiques et sociaux ?

For many organisations, their digital platform is essential infrastructure: a versatile technology foundation on which they can build and run their digital operations. With a strong and flexible digital platform, you can stay ahead of your competitors by providing your customers with the best user experience that fits seamlessly with your business goals. But how do you ensure that your platform helps you to really make a difference?

Applications and end users of applications require specific information, usually provided by apps such as for banking or shopping. The origin of the information shown in these apps is an underlying source system or a set of systems that compares and merges information. Many financial enterprises focus on providing clients with a modern app, which are, however, often cursed with a legacy system from the 1980s or even older as their information source. Consultant Rudy van Haandel explains the role that integration solutions such as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and API Management can play in these situations.

MACH : Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native and Headless. Un concept soudainement sous les feux de la rampe. Bien que, pris séparément, chacun de ces éléments soit bien connu et pas vraiment nouveau, un concept global est désormais associé à cette vision technique. MACH constitue-t-il le nouveau Cloud, et pourrait-il être aussi influent que SaaS, ou est-ce lui accorder trop de crédit ? Friso Geerlings, Technology Director chez iO, prévoit que MACH représentera un défi complexe, mais qu'il apportera également beaucoup de valeur aux entreprises qui se concentrent sur une expérience client incomparable et omnichannel.

MACH n'a rien à voir avec une plateforme classique (on-site ou IaaS) en termes d'exigences organisationnelles. Avant d'explorer les possibilités de travailler avec MACH ou de commencer à le faire, chaque organisation devrait se poser plusieurs questions.

Today, structural IT decisions often require substantial investments, but they are also more important than ever when it comes to achieving your business objectives. The right vendor choice is not only important in terms of set-up and implementation, it is also essential to remain future-proof. Scalability and flexibility are necessary for the continuity of your business and structural IT decisions you make are the basis of this. There are two modern ways to achieve this: with serverless and with container technology. Serverless requires less infrastructure and networking knowledge, whereas container technology is less vendor-dependent. In this blog, we will explain how container technology can offer a solution.

A Customer Data Platform collects your customers’ data and is mainly at home in the more ‘mature’ marketing departments of the organisation. A CDP combines customer data from different platforms and hands it back to you in a 360° package. This whitepaper illustrates how a CDP gets assembled, where its added value lies CDP can be for your organisation and which conditions best serve a CDP.

A headless platform offers a lot of new possibilities for companies. It fits into a digital landscape that connects your customers with your business processes. But what exactly does it mean? And can your company handle the complexity of headless systems? In this white paper we will separate the facts from the fiction and guide you through your first steps in the headless world.

Composable architectures are gaining traction and credibility as the most efficient way to respond to future user expectations. Unlike a suite approach, where a single vendor supplies all the software components you need, composable architectures focus on composing small, loosely coupled components and using existing best-of-breed technology that can be integrated to form innovative solutions and work together to supply the optimal customer experience across different channels.

Every new era requires new fuel, and the AI era is no exception. Simply collecting raw data is not enough to effectively utilise generative AI – you also need to process and interpret the data. The vector database bridges the gap between data and AI, enabling valuable output and optimal customer experiences. In this article in our ‘Get a taste of AI’ series, you will learn how vectors work and gain the tools to apply them in your daily practice. The term “vector” may not be familiar to the general public, but its impact certainly is. Vectors provide more accurate results and recommendations in search engines and recommendation engines, improving the user experience. They add context and relevance, making the difference between a positive and a negative experience. But how does this work exactly? And how can your organisation leverage vectors for AI?

XM Cloud est le CMS du nouveau DXP composable de Sitecore. Il s’agit d’un développement de leur CMS original, mais avec des différences notables. C’est un SaaS dont la maintenance est plus simple. Il est plus rapide et plus facile à développer, et aussi beaucoup plus facile à utiliser pour les éditeurs de contenu, tout en étant toujours aussi puissant et polyvalent qu’auparavant. Ainsi, lors du lancement d’une nouvelle implémentation Sitecore, le choix de XM Cloud par rapport à la plateforme DXP d’origine est une évidence. Mais qu’en est-il de la migration de votre implémentation existante vers XM Cloud ? Il n’y pas de trajet de mise à niveau fixe, et votre position de départ aura une grande influence sur le chemin que vous souhaitez emprunter, ainsi que sur les considérations commerciales qui sous-tendent une telle migration.

The heart of high-performing software is about more than just efficient code and robust integrations. Understanding the environment in which the code has to do its work, 'the domain', plays a crucial role in its success. For example, what are the USPs of the company that will deploy the software? Which processes are crucial? And at what points is interaction with users essential? Domain Driven Design (DDD) brings business and IT closer and concentrates software development around having authentic insights into the processes to be automated.

Traditional CMS systems have been around since the early days of web development. Those platforms were then developed to store and present content - such as text, images, and videos. This approach bundles everything in one big silo: content, HTML, CSS, and so on. This made it impossible to reuse the content in that silo, since it was stuck in specific code snippets. Now that organisations no longer simply post content on web pages, there’s a need for a more flexible solution. Headless is the answer!

The world is evolving faster than ever. Consumers and stakeholders expect more and more flexibility from companies and organisations. As a result, you need IT solutions that can grow with you.

Hackers are energetic innovators, constantly developing and changing their methods and expanding their cyber attack capabilities.

Do you want to rebrand your organisation? Is an acquisition or merger imminent? Or do you want to improve your customer experience, and does this require an organisational change?  For these types of digital transformations, changing technology is often a challenging and crucial part for organisations of all sizes. Whether you need to upgrade the CMS system to a newer version, or you want to increase your innovation speed with a headless CMS, there is often one element that receives little attention: the content migration. Far too often, a content migration is nothing more than the last thing on the list, because it’s the technology that requires a lot of attention and budget, isn’t it? How complex can it be to lift and shift the content from the old system to the new?

Date limite pour l'exportation depuis Universal Analytics : 1er juillet 2024. Après le 1er juillet 2024, il ne sera plus possible d'accéder à vos données dans Universal Analytics. Il est donc essentiel de prendre des mesures en temps voulu et de les exporter avant cette date. En exportant les données avant la fermeture de l'accès, vous pouvez conserver des informations précieuses, stocker vos données en toute sécurité et entreprendre tout autre action nécessaire. Il est conseillé de ne pas s'y prendre à la dernière minute, car vous pourriez rencontrer des obstacles, tels que des erreurs d'extraction ou des défis techniques. Pour éviter les problèmes potentiels, il est conseillé de transférer les données à temps dans un environnement où elles peuvent être stockées en toute sécurité. Vous pourrez ainsi les utiliser ultérieurement à des fins d'analyse ou de transformation. En agissant maintenant, vous pouvez vous assurer que vous ne perdrez pas vos précieuses données et que vous serez bien préparé·e pour l'avenir. Découvrez nos recommandations ci-dessous.

Au début du mois, le fondateur de Drupal, Dries Buytaert, est monté sur scène lors de la conférence annuelle DrupalCon North America à Portland (Oregon, USA). Il a présenté ce que certains considèrent comme la plus grande nouvelle Drupal depuis longtemps : l'annonce officielle de Drupal Starshot. En tant que plus grand partenaire Drupal du Benelux, iO vous donne plus d'explications sur ce lancement à venir.

iO et Drupal, c'est une vieille histoire. Nous utilisons le CMS depuis nos débuts, et il n'est pas exagéré de dire qu'il n'a pas de secrets pour nos développeurs. Ces dernières années, le marché des CMS a énormément évolué et de nouveaux systèmes ont poussé comme des champignons. Et, même si beaucoup d'entre eux n'ont pas survécu, il existe encore aujourd'hui un grand nombre de nouveaux systèmes de gestion de contenu. Une situation inhabituelle pour Drupal mais, avec l'annonce de Drupal Starshot, la réponse est enfin arrivée.
