Joshua Hover shared thisExciting news for Acquia as they continue expanding capabilities within their DXP. After a fresh new look, this is a great feature parity as they continue evolving. Keep it up! 👏Joshua Hover shared thisHave you heard? Acquia and Vercel announced their partnership this week to facilitate headless #Drupal using #Next.js, #Nuxt, #Astro, or #TanStack Start #javascript frameworks. To get ahead of this, I released an update to the TypeScript Definition Generator module that goes further to help define all the data structures in a Drupal site that a headless site can effectively use to hold a contract between the backend and frontend so implementations go smooth and require less boilerplate definition. But that's not all that it does.

Joshua Hover shared thisThe way people discover brands is changing, that has much bigger implications for content than simply figuring out how to use AI to create more of it. Danny Robinson joined me in the latest episode of Fireside to talk about how that shift is changing the role of content, DAM, and the broader digital experience ecosystem. We looked at the evolution of Sitecore Content Hub and DAM, Sitecore’s addition of Scrunch, and what happens as these capabilities begin to come together. DAM has traditionally been about organizing, governing, and distributing assets. That is still important, but the opportunity is becoming much bigger. As discovery increasingly happens through AI, the metadata, structure, governance, and context surrounding your content directly influence whether AI can understand it, trust it, and ultimately surface your brand. Which introduces a very different question for marketers: How does AI actually understand my brand? That is where I think Scrunch becomes particularly interesting. It gives marketers visibility into a part of the customer journey that has largely been invisible. When you start connecting that intelligence back to trusted content and the systems managing it, the conversation moves beyond content management and toward a much more intelligent digital ecosystem. Tune in on your favorite platform for the latest episode of Fireside. 🎤 🔥 https://lnkd.in/etbqhScc #Sitecore #SitecoreAI #Scrunch #DAM #DigitalExperience #AI #ContentStrategy #AIDiscovery

Joshua Hover reposted thisJoshua Hover reposted thisSearch has changed. Buyers are asking AI before they ever land on a website, and if your brand isn't showing up in those answers, you may be losing the opportunity before you know it exists. That's where Scrunch, the AI visibility platform acquired by Sitecore, comes in — tracking how brands show up across AI-generated answers. Our AEO Readiness Assessment helps you find out how your brand shows up in AI-powered search, where the fastest wins are, and how you can gain the competitive edge. 👉 Sign up for your free assessment here: https://lnkd.in/ghcMQw9J

Joshua Hover shared thisAnyone who knows Richard Shepherd, or has spent any time with him, knows the charisma he brings to every conversation and call he is part of. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rick and learning more about his career at Sitecore, the experiences he has had over more than 14 years, and the significant transformation he has seen along the way. One part of the conversation that stood out to me was the importance of helping organizations actually use the technology they invest in. The opportunity isn’t just modernizing the platform. It is creating a better path for customers, making teams more effective, and continually improving the experience. A great conversation with someone who has had a front-row seat to a lot of change and continues to bring a tremendous amount of energy to the Sitecore community.

Joshua Hover shared thisSitecore XP 10.5 is here! The latest release brings a strong focus on security, along with updates that help organizations strengthen and extend their existing XP investment. The team at Velir put together a great breakdown of what’s new and what it means for customers. For me, there’s also a bigger roadmap question behind the release: Is 10.5 the right next step, or is it time to start planning the move to SitecoreAI? Both can be the right answer. It comes down to where you are today and where you want to go next. #Sitecore #SitecoreXP #SitecoreAI #DXP #DigitalExperienceJoshua Hover shared thisSitecore XP 10.5 is not a release defined by dramatic new functionality. Instead, it focuses on extending the life of existing investments, modernizing infrastructure, strengthening security, and improving the everyday experience for content authors. In our latest blog, Mark Stiles looks at why this release matters for organizations that want a stable, supported platform while aligning with modern security and infrastructure expectations.

Joshua Hover shared thisHard to believe Sitecore SKO was already a few weeks ago. Looking back, it was an exciting week. I had the chance to take the main stage with Harrison A. from Suncoast Credit Union to share their amazing digital journey and talk about the metrics that mattered as we shared how Velir's Horizon delivered impacts to financial services. Andy Berling and I had four sessions focused on the benefits of Horizon for SitecoreAI and teams can move faster, doing more, Day-1. One of my biggest takeaways from the week: Scrunch. AI is changing how customers discover and engage with brands, and it has already reshaped how we think about content, search, and digital experience. It is always great getting time with so many across the community. A lot of momentum coming out of SKO, and a huge thank you to Harrison A. for taking the time to join me on stage and share the story together. #Sitecore #SitecoreAI #DigitalExperience #CustomerExperience #DXP #Horizon #Scrunch Agata Nowakowska, Arman Nijadiyan, Sean Broderick, Mike Blaney, Bill Rourke, Corey Caplette.

Joshua Hover liked thisJoshua Hover liked thisWhat is the cost of being invisible to AI? We built an AI Revenue Gap Calculator that shows how much potential revenue is on the line when your brand is missing from AI-generated answers and how Sitecore Scrunch can help bridge that gap. Most teams know AI is changing how they're found. Very few can put a dollar figure on it. This calculator gives you one you can bring into a budget conversation instead of a hunch, built specifically around AEO and AI visibility, and it takes minutes to run.

Joshua Hover liked thisJoshua Hover liked thisWhat a 36 hours in Chicago! From presenting on AI Visibility, AI Readiness, Sitecore, and Scrunch at the windy city’s own Sitecore User Group, hosted at Atkore. To the Boye & Company meetup downtown, aka “The Humans in The (Chicago) Loop.” The discussions were so authentic about Agentic AI use cases, the future of agencies, and an around the horn catchup on several leading platforms. And there were many in-between sidebars and drop-ins.
