The report helps tech leaders understand the value they can expect from a digital experience platform and use this information to select vendors.
Forrester defines a DXP as:
The portfolio of core components of a platform that provides the architectural foundation and modular services for developers and practitioners to create, orchestrate, and optimize digital journeys at scale — driving loyalty and new commerce outcomes across owned and third-party channels.
Hygraph, as a headless CMS with their federated content approach, is one of the MACH-certified vendors that enables your organization to build a DXP.
It helps source content from multiple systems within the DXP, create a structured schema for this content, and then distribute it to any frontend of choice using its powerful GraphQL API.
Hygraph also provides an interface for content teams to edit, collaborate, and publish content at scale, all within defined permissions and workflows. Alternatively, it enables programmatic creation or editing of content using its mutations API as well.
If your organization is looking to create a DXP, feel free to get in touch with one of our experts to guide you on how Hygraph can help.
