We use Crownpeak DXM for website design and build implementations for our client's customer marketing in the UK, Europe, and the USA. Crownpeak delivers on our core customer marketing principles - European GDPR compliance, and the principle of capturing customer data as part of transparent value exchange is baked into the platform. Their partner relationship and technical roles understand what marketers need from a WCMs investment. We're able to collaborate with them to tailor solutions for client best-fit. DXM is composable too, so we have the flexibility of integrations with several best-of-breed APIs across CRM, PIM, DAM, Commerce already in place. The SaaS model, means we get version updates with new features and functions without our developers getting involved in integration and update tasks. We know exactly what year-on-year platform costs will be, so we can plan content marketing and CRM budgets - rather than spending time and money on developer tasks associated with version updates.

We are a Crownpeak partner and implement DXM for various clients. Typically it is used by the marketing, or digital, department on behalf of the whole organization. It serves as a the backbone for the web presence for a business. i.e., it's the product that allows a business to maintain its website easily and effectively, refreshing content as needed.

As a digital consulting agency, we provide technology development for a variety of pharma clients. We recommend and deploy Crownpeak DXM as an enterprise solution for efficient and effective content and asset management and website development. Our most current deployment is for an international bio technology firm. We have deployed Crownpeak as the content management solution across the entire enterprise and across all brands. The benefits include content and asset re-use, reduced maintenance and support costs, and measurably faster times to market.
Our last three deployments have have included multiple brands, within the same company. The ability to leverage the Component Library, adn re-use standardized componets, has been a huge advantage. In terms of speed to market and reduced cost of ownership.

We implement the websites of our customers with Crownpeak DXM. Our clients move to Crownpeak DXM because with their existing CMS they are not able to manage the customer experience and their systems are not flexible and agile. We do a full implementation of their websites: UI/UX Design, Front End Development, Back End Development, SEO, Tagging, Content Migration, and Testing. For example, a recent client wanted to move their 7 different websites (all having 60+ locales) from AEM to Crownpeak DXM. The reason was that AEM is very costly, it takes a lot of time to implement a change, is difficult to maintain, is not flexible, is not agile and AEM resources on the market are expensive. Crownpeak on the other hand is very flexible, agile, less costly (compared to AEM), very secure, easy to maintain, and has a good performance overall.

We have implemented Crownpeak DXM for our client's organizations. This includes the development of websites, campaign sites, etc. Crownpeak DXM allows us to design, develop, manage and publish content across multiple channels, and in multiple languages in a very rapid and agile manner. From an architecture standpoint, Crownpeak DMS supports headless and server-rendered architectures which are nice to have that flexibility. In either approach, Crownpeak DMS handles taking care of CMS security, applying patches, performing upgrades, etc. One business challenge that Crownpeak DXM is a great fit for is when organizations need a complementary CMS in order to handle quickly changing needs that might otherwise not be accomplished on their primary CMS.

We currently use Crownpeak DXM for some of our clients. For the clients that we provide web content management services via the Crownpeak DXM, they use the platform all across the whole organization also in different languages. The tools provide a seamless content management operations process; the workflow structure and content management process allow non-technical users to create state-of-the-art customer experiences with limited teams. In-built DQM (Digital Quality Management) tool gives the marketing teams the ability to audit their content for accuracy and accessibility. The system has a decoupled deployment structure; as content authors, we are able to create, manage and push content globally (in various languages) with fewer efforts and shorter turnaround times when it comes to delivering complex digital projects without any IT involvement.

My team within the larger organization uses Crownpeak to manage our entire digital website offering. In my specific use case, I use Crownpeak to build out and manage specific landing pages for the Enterprise marketing experience. The main business problem is to build out a space for those in the Enterprise space can come and learn about our product.

We implemented Crownpeak DXM for our customers. Over the last many years, we have worked on different types of CMSs and have found that none of them are truly SaaS + allow for both server-rendered and pure decoupled builds. Crownpeak allows for both and without any worry about CMS security, patches, upgrades, etc. Crownpeak is very agile, customizable, and easy to implement. Above all, the Content Management experience is one of the best. With Crownpeak, moving content from one environment to another can be achieved at individual page level/asset levels and without any IT involvement/database syncs. Crownpeak allows the content manager to create new pages in a lower environment, as well as manage content and quickly move it through the review process. Once approved, they themselves can push the same page to higher environment/production without re-entering the same content in the new environment. Imagine the same with other CMSs where you would have needed to re-enter the same content again in the new environment. This becomes more practical when your site is already in production and marketing is active with new changes every other day. With Crownpeak, you don't re-do the same content changes again and again in different environments. At the same time, your developers (content writers) can simultaneously keep test content in lower environments without the worry of it spilling over to the higher environment. Speed of implementation, agility, and a great Content Management experience is what Crownpeak DXM stands for, in comparison to other CMSs.

Crownpeak DXM provides complex organizations and their non-IT business leaders with a scalable "turnkey" platform (decoupled CMS, hosting, CDN, etc..) that accelerates go-to-market launches of websites, extranets, digital products, and other content-intensive digital tools. The product addresses the following: GTM Speed [faster to deploy particularly when compared to monolithic, all integrated DX platforms] Commercial flexibility [affordable subscription price with the ability to purchase through AWS Marketplace and include hosting reduces project delay risks associated with having to procure from multiple vendors] Reduction in tech debt and IT risk [implementations and digital operations can be independent of core IT and specialized scarce resources] Business autonomy [Crownpeak often co-exists IT-intensive CMS platforms. Divisions in large orgs benefit from using Crownpeak as a complementary cloud-native solution that more easily responds to quickly changing market needs]

Crownpeak offers the best in class suite of options as a CMS that connects our technology stack together. The ability to manage a website's front end with speed and agility is second to none. The Crownpeak team is also a wonderful group of people who have been easy to work with. I would highly recommend considering their platform.

True SaaS model that takes away the worry of upgrades as the features and security will always be up to date. A great solution for multi-brand, multi-language organizations looking to publish a piece of content to various sites at once.

It's been a great tool for improving the accessibility requirements of our website to meet with WCAG guidelines.

Our company is a digital agency that develops and maintains websites for many clients, and we use Crownpeak for websites with several of our clients. I'm not sure why Crownpeak is used other than that it's cloud-based and our company has a long history with it, so we have a partnership with Crownpeak.

Crownpeak has been deployed to manage our corporate Website and blog, and our internal intranet. We selected the platform for what we were told would be a platform that would allow our business users to easily create blog posts and personalized user experiences. Marketing is the department largely responsible for the day-to-day management of the Website, but the entire company uses the intranet.
