Why Nishtech Recommends Znode for Complex B2B Commerce in 2026

A 2026 Outlook for Multi-Store, Multi-Brand, and Highly Customized B2B Digital Ecosystems

As we move into 2026, B2B commerce is no longer defined by basic online ordering. Manufacturers and distributors must now support dynamic buying experiences across multiple brands, business units, geographies, and customer segments.

What is this SitecoreAI Legacy Tag?

If your SitecoreAI project suddenly shows a “Legacy” label, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean your site is unsupported or broken. It simply indicates your project was created using the older coupled deployment model. With decoupled deployments now generally available, here’s what changed, what it means for your environment, and why this is a routine modernization—not an emergency.

Every year we look forward to Google's Year in Search. Every year, we key in on the healthcare search trends to learn and adjust our approach for content findability and searchability for our healthcare clients. What did users search for in 2025?

Two Months with SitecoreAI

Nishtech was in the first wave of partners who had access to SitecoreAI on day 1. Not only did this give us early access, but combined without our AI expertise and Agentic models already working for clients, we are months ahead of other partners and SitecoreAI only accelerated that. How are we helping real work clients explore the capabilities of SitecoreAI and what "Artificatial Intelligence" buzzy buzz buzz buzz actually means for your business, without the buzzy buzz with SitecoreAI.

Behind the Curtain The AI Orchestration that Powers Nishtechs XP to XM Cloud Migrations

Crossing the GenAI Divide: Why 95% of Organizations Fail and 5% Win

According to MIT’s State of AI in Business 2025 report, 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI. The problem is not the technology, it is the workflow. At Nishtech, we see the same pattern every day: brittle processes, tools that do not learn or adapt, and a growing reliance on AI without guardrails. The result is what we call AI slop, automation without alignment. AI is not transformative. Workflows are. Real transformation happens when AI is integrated into systems that can learn, adapt, and deliver continuous feedback. As Sun Tzu wrote, "Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." The organizations that succeed treat AI as part of a broader strategy, not a quick fix. At Nishtech, we are helping clients bridge this divide using workflow driven automation and tools such as Optimizely Opal and Sitecore Stream. The winners will not just use AI, they will master the workflows that make it work.

The Nuptial SXA Experiment - Part 4 (Final Thoughts)

Final Thoughts

The Nuptial SXA Experiment - Part 3 (Milestones 2 and 3)

We will now implement an internal page, also with static HTML,and later implement some dynamic components, for better edition experience.

The Nuptial SXA Experiment - Part 2 (Milestone 1)

Our first milestone is to implement the Home Page with static HTML blocks. During this first effort, we will take care of the whole basic setup, from the installation, creation of Tenant and Site, adapting our Theme to our the existent Nuptial Bootstrap, along with some basic Partial Designs for the Header, Navigation, and Footer.

The Nuptial SXA Experiment - Part 1 (Introduction)

As a first hands-on experience with SXA at NishTech, we chose to implement one of the Development Tests we have in-house. It's not an exercise specific to SXA nor Sitecore, but it can certainly be implemented with these tools.

The use case we are going to implement has some specific functional and non-functional requirements, but it is overall quite simple, with only two pages and four dynamic (editable) components.

But what appeared to be a straight-forward task at first glance, proved to be an interesting SXA challenge.

Living in a Multi-World

As a Sitecore developer, we always want to keep personalization in mind.   Which means, we also want to keep the idea of "datasources" in mind.    

On a standard website, headers and footers with datasources seem easy enough.    Just set the datasources for header and footer on every page's standard values, and call it done.   Publish to live.    If personalization is needed, we can just go to the standard values again and set the personalization there.   It would, of course, carry over to the other pages that the template is based off of.   

But, imagine a world were a client wants something more than one website.    They want a "multi"-site application.
