Sitecore's SaaS offering will make it much easier and faster to build digital 
experiences, while maintaining the flexibility for Sitecore partners and 
customers to create differentiated experiences. Once a user is on Sitecore's 
SaaS platform, they will always have the most current version of the product 
with the ease of automatic upgrades. Over time, Sitecore plans to continue 
automating services such as personalisation (

) so that difficult tasks become dramatically easier. Sitecore Content Hub, 
which is already SaaS, will also have full integration with the platform over 
time.

"Enabling brands to deliver customer experiences as quickly and efficiently as 
possible is paramount in this digital age," said Mark Frost, chief executive 
officer, Sitecore. "We are reinventing the standard with a modern SaaS platform 
where brands can realise time-to-value much faster and easily drive the digital 
transformations needed to stay relevant through an easy to use, configurable, 
and extensible platform."

The initial version of Sitecore's SaaS solution is planned for availability in 
summer 2020 and will enable users to accelerate time-to-market and reduce the 
costs to design, build, and deploy their websites, while empowering them with 
the flexibility to make changes when needed based on shifting market dynamics. 
Sitecore's SaaS solution will also provide developers the extensibility needed 
to integrate with the ecosystem around it and meet today's wide variety of 
market demands.
