The next generation of Kentico

Kentico has crossed the horizon, and is on an exciting journey of innovation. The goal is defined clearly—a next-generation flexible digital experience platform (DXP) that will deliver great value to the customers and partners efficiently. It’s a path lined with a few strategic changes and adjustments, resulting in a future-proof product that will keep helping businesses deliver exceptional digital experiences and boost their success.

How will we achieve it?

  • By shortening release cycles significantly (on a monthly basis) 
  • By focusing on the low code/no code approach
  • By improving automation, using artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • By making a cloud-first solution and SaaS (Software as a Service) offering available
  • By leveraging cutting-edge technology (.NET Core and more)

With Xperience by Kentico, you will have entered a natural path to a complete removal of versioning. No more huge differences and incompatibilities, no more difficulties with adoption. Simply, a powerful tool that is always up-to-date and incredibly easy to use.

Kentico Xperience 13 ongoing development

Before we remove versioning entirely and step into the next generation of Kentico, we’ve still got a few innovations planned when it comes to Kentico Xperience 13. There’s a myriad of new functionalities and enhancements to be applied. But to simplify the adoption, we’ll release the changes in shorter release cycles, on a quarterly basis, instead.

These significantly shorter release cycles are called refreshes. They’re designed to bring a combination of extended functionality and technical improvements to our customers regularly and fast, offering a painless, smooth upgrade. It’s no different from installing hotfixes. In fact, whenever you install the newest hotfix, you’ll have all features from the latest refresh available, as well.

Planned refreshes will provide an enhanced user experience and improved performance that both developers and marketers will benefit from.
