Trend 1: Low-code/no-code development

  • Streamline workflows and reduce workloads

Trend 2: Freedom to customize

Brightspot gets you 80% to the finish line out-of-the-box. Launch new dynamic digital experiences at astonishing speed while leveraging ultimate front-end flexibility to innovate on those experiences now and into the future.

Benefits of a flexible, customizable publishing platform?

  • Low-code and no-code platforms will likely never replace traditional development fully due in part to enterprise needs for full customization
  • With roughly two billion websites on the internet today, companies need the functionality to customize every website, application, microsite and endpoint to their specific brand and needs.

Trend 3: Multichannel delivery

Headless is often talked about as the answer to powering myriad digital experiences, but why be forced to choose? Go headless, use a head or do both—whatever works best for your organization’s needs. With Brightspot, you have the flexibility to use a combo of no-code, low-code and fully customizable approaches—all within one content management system.

Key considerations for organizations seeking multichannel delivery solutions:

  • As new applications and technologies emerge, the need to connect these technologies continues to increase 
  • Organizations must think about MANY experiences as opposed to a single website
  • All of this has to happen without increased time or expense

As technology leaders weigh decisions about investing in—and future-proofing—their tech stack, they need to consider the ability of their publishing platform to support future channels and endpoints. With its hybrid-headless extensibility and fully customizable, modular framework, Brightspot is built to adapt to those future needs.

Key takeaways for future-proofing your organization's tech stack:

  • The realization that you can't predict future changes to your business and need to be able to respond incredibly quickly was expanded by COVID-19
  • Your tech stack now needs to “future-proof” your business by giving you the flexibility to change and adapt rapidly
