Your Customers Don't See Channels. They See One Brand.

In today's hyper-connected world, a fragmented customer experience is a death sentence for growth. Your website, mobile app, social media, and in-store interactions are all just touchpoints in a single conversation. A Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is the central nervous system that unifies this conversation, turning disjointed interactions into a seamless, personalized journey. At CIS, we don't just implement DXP technology; we architect the strategy that aligns your people, processes, and platforms to deliver exceptional experiences at every turn, driving loyalty and measurable ROI.

Why CIS is Your Strategic DXP Partner

Real-World DXP Success Stories

See how we've helped leading enterprises transform their customer experience and drive growth.

Global Retailer Unifies Omnichannel Commerce with Adobe Experience Cloud

Client Overview: A Fortune 500 retailer with over 2,000 physical stores and a significant e-commerce presence struggled with a disconnected customer experience. Their online and in-store systems were siloed, leading to inconsistent pricing, promotions, and customer data, which frustrated customers and hampered marketing efforts.

Problem: The lack of a single customer view made personalization impossible. Marketing campaigns were generic, and the company couldn't effectively attribute sales to specific marketing activities. They needed a unified platform to merge their physical and digital retail worlds.

"CIS didn't just implement a tool; they transformed how we think about our customers. Our ability to personalize at scale is now a core competitive advantage."

Financial Services Firm Boosts Lead Generation with Sitecore Personalization

Client Overview: A leading wealth management firm faced challenges in engaging high-net-worth individuals through its generic website. The content wasn't tailored to different visitor segments (e.g., pre-retirees, young accumulators, business owners), resulting in high bounce rates and low lead quality.

Problem: The firm needed to deliver highly relevant content and advice to build trust and guide prospects toward a consultation. Their existing CMS lacked the sophisticated personalization and analytics capabilities required to execute this strategy effectively.

"The level of insight we now have into our website visitors is incredible. The Sitecore DXP, implemented by CIS, has turned our website from a simple brochure into our most powerful lead generation engine."

Healthcare System Improves Patient Engagement with a Headless DXP

Client Overview: A large, multi-hospital healthcare system needed to provide a unified digital front door for patients. Their digital properties were fragmented across different platforms, making it difficult for patients to find doctors, schedule appointments, and access their health records.

Problem: The rigid, monolithic nature of their existing systems made it slow and expensive to launch new digital services, like a mobile app or telehealth portal. They needed an agile, future-proof architecture to innovate faster.

"CIS's expertise in headless architecture was a game-changer. We can now push content and services to any channel—web, mobile, or kiosk—from a single platform. Our development cycles have been cut in half."

Frequently Asked Questions

A Content Management System (CMS) is primarily focused on creating and managing website content. A Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is a much broader, integrated suite of technologies. It includes CMS capabilities but adds crucial components for personalization, e-commerce, analytics, marketing automation, and customer data management. Essentially, a CMS manages content on one channel (the web), while a DXP manages the entire customer experience across all digital channels (web, mobile, social, email, in-store, etc.).

You should consider a DXP if you're facing challenges like: a fragmented view of your customers, inability to deliver consistent experiences across channels, difficulty personalizing content at scale, or a slow time-to-market for new digital initiatives. If your current tech stack feels like a collection of disconnected tools rather than a unified system, a DXP strategy is likely the next logical step for growth.

A monolithic DXP is an all-in-one suite from a single vendor (e.g., Adobe Experience Cloud, Sitecore XP). It offers pre-integrated tools and a unified interface. A composable DXP is a "best-of-breed" approach where you select individual, specialized services (e.g., a headless CMS, a separate e-commerce engine, a standalone personalization tool) and connect them via APIs. Monolithic is often faster to get started with, while composable offers greater flexibility, scalability, and avoids vendor lock-in.

The timeline varies significantly based on complexity. A foundational implementation (e.g., a new website on a DXP) can take 4-6 months. A full enterprise-wide transformation involving multiple integrations, data migration, and personalization strategies can take 12-18 months or more. We advocate for a phased approach, delivering a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) quickly to start generating value, followed by iterative enhancements.

We work with you to establish clear KPIs before the project begins. ROI is measured through a combination of "hard" and "soft" metrics. Hard metrics include increased conversion rates, higher average order value, reduced customer churn, and lower cost-per-acquisition. Soft metrics include improved customer satisfaction (NPS), enhanced brand perception, and increased operational efficiency for your marketing and content teams.
