As part of this exciting news, if you don’t know yet, Sitecore now works very closely with Microsoft. When I say closely, I mean physically.  They now have an on-site location at the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center in Redmond, WA. 

For Sitecore users, developers, and enthusiasts, this can only mean that Sitecore’s commitment to improving its product as well as being in line with Microsoft’s vision is going to be accelerated.  Just in the past year, we’ve seen several versions of Sitecore come out.  Plus, there’s the Azure version.  Then, we also have new modules and updated Sitecore-based products.  Sitecore is really stepping on the gas to separate itself from the competition by leveraging strategic partnerships.  At this rate, partners need to keep up both technically and business-wise.  There’s so much value in adopting Sitecore now and in the future.

Thanks Sitecore for such dedication to excellence.  I’m proud to being a partner.
