Summary

As a director of platform strategy at Contentful, I spent my first 90 days talking to nearly 100 digital leaders and learned five key insights that propel companies into the ranks of digital leaders. Business outcomes are crucial for driving results, not just making changes for change's sake, and customers have achieved significant success with Contentful in improving project outcomes such as schedule, scope, and budget. To achieve business outcomes, it's essential to tie investments in new technologies back to customer, business, and technical outcomes, and companies should focus on high-value use cases that deliver a seamless experience for their end-users. Contentful enables modular business capabilities by providing a consistent mechanism for content, and leading digital brands are empowering builders with custom stacks composed of tools that work with them, not against them. The key to stability amidst change is ensuring the customer is at the center of your technology universe, and Contentful offers a reliable infrastructure that meets this need.
