A new marketplace that is fully integrated with Umbraco CMS will increase the discoverability of integrations and tech partners, make it simpler to locate the appropriate tools, and enable the creation of robust web-based digital platforms. The ability to incorporate their preferred tools and services into their Umbraco project gives end-clients peace of mind. Tech partners and integration service providers also get more exposure, all in the name of a healthy and successful cDXP ecosystem. Lets explore this in more detail in this article.
A new marketplace provides new opportunities
The brand-new marketplace gateway, which is available and searchable from anywhere and fills the new marketplace section, enhances the overall picture of what is possible if you wish to go beyond Umbraco’s built-in features. The marketplace not only showcases products and services that may be connected to your cDXP, complementing and boosting content, marketing, and commerce capabilities, but also offers packages that are specifically designed to be installed in Umbraco.
This new functionality serves as another example of how seriously Umbraco takes the demand for composable DXP. When creating a tech stack today, effective content management is insufficient.
Integrations and tech partners are crucial
Umbraco Tech Partners, which offers access to services, integrations, and packages that assist businesses and organizations in developing top-notch web solutions, is a developing component of the cDXP ecosystem.
Instead of aligning their approach to a particular tool or platform, Umbraco customers may more easily complete a best-of-breed plan by selecting the technologies that correspond with their digital and business requirements thanks to connections built to other technologies and services.
Umbraco has always taken a modular approach and been prepared to share information; this is a result of its fundamentally open-source nature. This indicates the availability of approximately 1,000 packages.
A better place for tech partners
Together with a lengthy number of associates, including Hubspot and Active Campaign, Umbraco has provided packages that make using these well-known services with Umbraco CMS simple. We also encourage and support others that do the same through the tech partner program.
Umbraco Tech Partners will benefit from better promotion of integrations and products with the launch of the new Marketplace. This is thanks to both the upgraded partner profiles at Umbraco.com, which are included in searches made at the Marketplace, in the CMS, or on the Umbraco.com website, as well as the new placement of the Marketplace in the Umbraco CMS, which highlights packages from NuGet.
The marketplace, which can presently be found at umbraco.com/marketplace, will serve as the sole location for Tech Partner profiles and as the ideal platform for showcasing services that seamlessly interact with Umbraco.
As an Umbraco Tech Partner, you will therefore have the opportunity to highlight your services and solutions that integrate well with Umbraco on the same overview as your partner profile, which will be featured on umbraco.com. If you have developed packages specifically designed to be deployed in Umbraco, they will be available on the new market.
Conclusion
You may need to make some changes to your Tech Partner listing to make it more compatible with the new marketplace. You can pick whether your listing is a Tech Partner profile or an integration, and categories will be aligned with those in the new marketplace. Both will be filterable on the listing and searchable on the marketplace. This will improve the user experience for generating and editing your listing.
