Legacy solutions, like Sitecore and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), promised a one-stop-shop experience, simplifying the intricate web of digital content management. Yet, with the rapid technological advancements and increasing business demands, these once revered monolithic systems are now showing their age — and limitations.

In this e-book, we'll uncover the shortcomings of the monolithic approach and explore the rise of composable DXPs championed by industry leaders like Contentstack.

Legacy systems are pre-defined, rigid and typically cumbersome. In contrast, composable DXPs are built on the principle of modularity. This means enterprises can pick, choose and stitch together different services to craft a solution tailored to their unique needs rather than conforming to the limitations of an all-in-one system.

The advantages of a composable DXP include:

• Flexibility: Organizations can integrate or replace components as required without overhauling the entire system.
• Rapid implementation: Without the constraints of a monolithic structure, businesses can deploy features and updates in real time.
• Scalability: As businesses grow, composability ensures their DXP can grow with them, easily integrating new modules or services.

Contentstack’s composable DXP promises a transformative experience. The most significant advances of switching to Contentstack DXP include:

• 100% open MACH architecture: By embracing an open Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native and Headless (MACH) architecture, Contentstack ensures enterprises benefit from flexibility, scalability and future-readiness.
• Singular headless CMS platform: In shedding the constraints of traditional CMS, Contentstack offers a headless solution. For enterprises, that means unparalleled agility. Users can create content once and publish it across multiple channels. This ensures consistency, reduces redundancy and accelerates the time to market.
• Integrated front-end hosting: With Contentstack, you aren’t just procuring a back-end system. The platform’s holistic approach integrates front-end hosting, ensuring businesses can manage their digital assets end-to-end within a singular ecosystem.
