A lot of us are working harder than ever—working on pivotal projects that are helping to evolve the digital experience and deliver important business outcomes. Although it’s a great feeling to be able to impact the business, sometimes having so many priorities, deadlines and responsibilities can cause burnout.
To prevent burnout, it’s important to first understand the cause of this influx of projects. How has the business landscape and market evolved to get us to the point we’re at today?
We asked our customers to give us feedback on their current goals and priorities to figure out how we can make their lives easier. We found that a lot of customers and users were aiming to achieve similar objectives, the most common ones being:
Successful digital experiences require the collaboration between a multitude of cross-functional teams—from content creators, to digital marketers, to IT, to developers, to administrators (and often times more). Many are under pressure to be able to essentially do more on a daily basis to help their teams meet these goals that are critical to the business.
No matter what job function you may be in—there are certain processes, tasks, operations pertaining to your digital experience that you need to make happen on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, on top of the growing goals the business is setting and the projects that are growing in complexity.
These daily tasks can grow cumbersome—especially if they require getting approvals from different stakeholders, assistance from cross-functional teams, repetitive steps to get the same results, etc. Tools that can remove unneeded steps, automate workflows, connect processes and make you more productive can save you from working through lunch or trying to clone yourself.
Thankfully, Sitefinity 13.2 introduces a number of enhancements and productivity tools that enable you to achieve stretch goals, meet hard deadlines and deliver more successful content (and maybe even log off early) by simplifying some of your major daily processes and technical challenges. This latest release offers a little something for everyone and we’re excited for you to discover its power.
Sitefinity 13.2 further expands on its ease of use and intuitive interface so content creators can focus on just that—creating engaging content without reliance on IT. Content teams will enjoy:
