Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Pantheon has acquired StagingPilot, creating a clear pathway for us to offer automation for website updates through our WebOps platform. This acquisition includes not just StagingPilot’s outstanding technology, but also founder Nathan Tyler and his brother Phil, who have created the gold standard of automated CMS maintenance.
We all know that fostering better team communication is important to the success of a business, but investing in collaboration is just as vital. And you can’t have one without the other.
Consider these stats about collaboration:
I’m thrilled to announce Pantheon is now offering Managed Updates for both WordPress and Drupal. This release has been nearly a year in the making, and stems directly from our strategic acquisition of StagingPilot last May.
Team communication is more important—and more challenging—than ever right now. The COVID-19 crisis has put more pressure on web teams to deliver as consumers rapidly change their shopping habits and increase their time spent online.
As the new year approaches, many of us start to think about what’s gone well in 2019… and what we’d like to improve on in the coming year. How satisfied are you with your career? Do you wish you could have more of an impact, play a more strategic role or just have more insight into how the business actually works? Would you like to earn more money… and see your organization’s profits improve, too?
Your website is more important than ever as a marketing tool. Whether visitors find you through a web search, an email nurture campaign, or an ad, at some point they come to your website.
Building a website operations team is very similar to building a product-oriented team in a DevOps software development approach. There are two key differences, however:
WebOps involves a hard shift to the left. The whole rationale behind WebOps is to unify the business rationale and the engineering required to make a website function, rather than simply bringing together different parts of the engineering work.
Time is money, and many businesses are lacking in both. Straying from initial projections with a boost here or a cut there can mean the difference between investing in a much-needed area and streamlining another. For enterprise companies especially, these decisions can lead to drastic jumps in output and profitability.
In a recent webinar, Marc Cracco, Director of Technology at Wondersauce, discussed how to analyze, set, and reach your website goals. You can watch the full webinar to learn key WebOps concepts, how to get buy-in from team members and stakeholders, and how to set and measure meaningful key performance indicators (KPIs).
Editor's note, April 20, 2022: In the two years since we published this blog post the shortcomings of monolithic DXPs have become clearer in the industry. The term "Composable DXP" is picking up steam as a descriptor of the stack-based approach we described here.
