“We just do what we’re good at”

What we don’t:• be yet another full service internet partner• distinguish ourselves by flashy sales pitches• aim at the very large online projects (although

we love to co-perform in them)

Then what does Suneco do?:• We stand-out in technical knowledge,

especially in Sitecore• We love to share that knowledge and use it in

favor of our customers• We look for co-operation with business partner

specialists to be able to serve all customers in all projects

• We’re always looking for long term relationships with our customers and partners

Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated.

It is hard to make something simple.

You don’t really get what you want

You don’t want that. This is what you want. And the rest will be build in phase II.But sadly there is no phase II

I asked to turn on the DMS. But I still can’t do personalization and/or A/B testing?!? Okay, but the

Portals

“You aren’t allowed to show customer data in the page-editor preview and edit mode. ”

http://www.noname.com

Never ever show real-life customer data in the page editor.

Another important thing is that you can actually fake login and logout.

Aliases on Sitelevel

“With a Good and Solid foundation in place it is easy to extend without creating a new project for it.”
