Sitecore SaaS

Sitecore symposium 2019 took place last week in Orlando, Florida for the second year, and as with all previous Sitecore Symposiums, it came with some big announcements. The biggest one was the new Sitecore SaaS offering that will be available in its first version by Summer 2020. Sitecore SaaS will give the ability to focus on the innovation part of building solutions using Sitecore, like custom solution design, component development, content strategy, and creative content and presentation, and take care of the heavy lifting like installing, managing and upgrading the software. Also, this means a new developer experience for working with the platform.
