WordPress VIP, the leading provider of enterprise WordPress and part of Automattic’s suite of innovative brands, announced its new VIP API Mesh, Powered by TakeShape. In an increasingly crowded market, businesses are challenged to create differentiated experiences. The API Mesh helps organizations build customer experiences faster, reduce costs and increase performance.
Forrester Research identifies composability as a main trend for Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs), noting, “Rapid shifts in customer digital preferences accelerate the adoption of agile composable DXPs. Composability occurs at two layers of your architecture. The first is on the back end: how you mix cloud parts (e.g., content, commerce, and search) from different vendors. The second is on the front end: how you create UIs visually by dragging and dropping interactive widgets — each bound to a different back-end data source — with no code.” (The Digital Experience Platforms Landscape, Q2 2023, Forrester, Joe Cicman).
