Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between a CMS and a DXP?

While a Content Management System (CMS) focuses primarily on managing text and images for a website, a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is designed to manage the entire user relationship across multiple touchpoints, integrating with your CRM, databases, and e-commerce tools.

Is a DXP only for large, global corporations?

Not at all. Any organisation that manages complex user interactions—such as local authorities, membership bodies, or B2B suppliers—can benefit from a DXP’s ability to simplify workflows and personalise user experiences.

How does a DXP improve our return on investment (ROI)?

A DXP drives ROI by reducing the "friction" of digital tasks. It automates manual processes, reduces the cost of maintaining multiple disconnected systems, and increases user retention through better, more relevant experiences.

Can we migrate our existing data into a new DXP?

Yes. One of the primary strengths of a DXP is its "Headless" and API-first nature, which allows us to ingest data from your current systems and display it in a modern, user-friendly way without losing your historical information.

How long does it take to see results from a DXP implementation?

By using our pre-configured accelerator modules ("Cubes"), we can often launch a core platform within 3 to 4 months. Because DXPs are modular, you can start seeing value from your first "Site" or "Portal" while we continue to build out more complex functionality and integrations.
