Digital Experience Platform (DXP)
Digital Experience Platform
An integrated technology platform that manages, delivers, and optimises digital experiences across websites, mobile apps, portals, and other digital channels throughout the customer lifecycle.
In-Depth Explanation
A digital experience platform (DXP) is an integrated suite of technologies that enables organisations to create, manage, deliver, and optimise personalised digital experiences across multiple channels. DXPs evolved from web content management systems (CMS) to address the growing complexity of digital customer interactions.

- Closed DXPs: Proprietary platforms (Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore)
- Composable DXPs: Best-of-breed components connected via APIs (headless approach)
- Cloud-native DXPs: Built for cloud deployment (Contentful, Optimizely)
