What Enterprises Should Demand Next

Composable architecture promised to simplify digital experience creation by giving organizations the flexibility to combine the technologies that met their needs. But for many enterprises, it’s done the opposite, which has led to complex integrations, spiraling costs, and what some are now referring to as composable regret.

So how do we turn the page? What should enterprises really expect from the next generation of digital experience?

In this live conversation, Umbraco CEO Mats Persson joins Matt Garrepy, Chief Content Officer at CMS Critic, for a candid exploration of what went wrong in the first wave of composable and what needs to change.

As ‘Chief Critic’ on the industry’s leading publication, Matt Garrepy will share his independent analytical overview of the CMS ecosystem in his own inimitable style. Mats Persson brings years of experience spent engaging with enterprise leaders to understand their pain points. He will share a leadership view on how technology needs to change in order to enable the digital enterprise. Together, Matt and Mats will challenge assumptions, unpack regrets, and chart a smarter path forward.
