The first release, available early 2021, will be the headless content delivery capability of Sitecore Experience Edge, giving brands the ability to publish content to whatever device or channel they want, from watches and phones to tablets and voice-controlled devices, to name a few. Sitecore Experience Edge empowers marketers to deploy their content fast, without adding architectural complexity, while improving content delivery economics with options for pre-rendering of experiences.

Building on this flexibility, Sitecore Experience Edge will initially be available through two services:

• Sitecore Experience Edge for Sitecore Content Hub™ will enable brands to publish content to a highly scalable delivery platform, exposing high-performing graphQL APIs to deliver headless content on demand to any channel. It will also enable marketers to manage content while developers simultaneously build the presentation and will also allow for modeling, planning and collaboration to manage content lifecycle stages.
• Sitecore Experience Edge for Sitecore Experience Manager® (XM) allows customers on XM to leverage a highly scalable delivery platform for static publishing of Sitecore JSS sites and runtime content delivery for headless sites. It will enable marketers to control presentation and experience composition, while removing the burden of content deployment, infrastructure setup, and scaling.

Sitecore will continue to build on Sitecore Experience Edge, with plans to add personalization capabilities in future releases, as the company continues to expand its SaaS portfolio and augment its existing headless content offerings with Sitecore JSS and Sitecore Experience Accelerator.
