Umbraco and Microsoft have announced a strategic partnership to broaden the reach of Umbraco's easy-to-use, flexible, and open-source content management system (CMS) built on Microsoft.NET, as well as strengthen its position in the Azure Marketplace, an online store built around Microsoft's Azure cloud platform that contains thousands of IT software applications and services to help build new solutions and manage cloud infrastructures.
"Not only is Umbraco one of the most deployed contact management systems on the Microsoft stack, but it is in the top 5 most popular server applications and among the 10 most popular open-source tools available today. Our partnership is based on a common desire to strengthen the spread of Umbraco's CMS, its cloud products, and its position with Azure even further to help companies more easily publish content on their digital platforms," said Morten Thomsen, Partner Director, Microsoft.
Umbraco Cloud and Umbraco Heartcore, the company's headless CMS, are available on the Azure marketplace. These technologies are at the heart of Umbraco's composable digital experience platform (DXP), which allows companies to integrate best-of-breed applications or tools with the CMS to create digital experiences that are tailored to their organization's needs rather than deploying a monolithic suite that combines multiple MarTech technologies into a single suite purchased from a single vendor. Instead, the solutions, including Umbraco Cloud, work together via APIs to flexibly offer content and tailored digital experiences to customers as a composable DXP.
"Microsoft's secure, stable and scalable Azure cloud, and its extensive online marketplace, will enable even more companies to take advantage of our composable DXP designed around our user-friendly and highly flexible CMS, As a result, they can configure their digital experiences across their digital platforms just the way they want, creating their preferred tech stack without any limitations. We look forward to seeing new success cases enabled through this new partnership—-and go to market together with Microsoft."
