Our Optimizely practice

We run the whole Optimizely One suite — and everything around it.

We work hands-on across the whole suite: CMS on PaaS and SaaS, Web, Feature and Edge experimentation, CMP, Commerce, personalization, and Opal — with senior people who understand how the products connect, and how the business behind them runs. One team for the whole platform, not a different specialist for each part of it.

The full suite

We’re one partner across the whole Optimizely One suite — deep in each product, aware of the rest.

Optimizely One is a connected suite, and Opal now orchestrates across all of it. We’re scoped to whichever products you run — and we hold the connections between them: a CMS change that moves an experiment, a data model that decides whether personalization fires, an agent that only helps if the content underneath is structured for it. Choose a product to see how we service it.

Opal — the orchestration layer

Opal sits over the suite and runs agents across every product below.

We treat Opal as the operating layer, not a bolt-on — scoping which agents and workflows earn their place, and wiring the guardrails so they run with governance instead of guesswork.

CMS — PaaS & SaaS

We build and run Optimizely CMS on both delivery models: the .NET-based PaaS line (CMS 12 and 13) and the SaaS-native CMS with Visual Builder and Graph. That means we can meet you where you are and take you where the product is heading — without stalling the site you run today.

  • Build & implement — content modeling, templates, Visual Builder, headless and hybrid front ends on a single codebase.
  • PaaS → SaaS migration — the content-type and Find→Graph work that’s easy to under-scope, handled deliberately.
  • Upgrades — CMS 12→13 and .NET modernization, sequenced against Optimizely’s roadmap, not around it.
  • Run — managed services once it’s live: releases, incidents, and continuous improvement.
What’s moving

The platform is changing fast — here’s where we’re putting the work.

Four shifts are reshaping what an Optimizely program should be doing this year. Each one is a real opportunity and a real place teams get stuck. This is how we help on each.

Agentic AI is now the platform, not a feature

Opal has moved from a chat assistant to an agent-orchestration layer over all of Optimizely One — a library of specialized agents, no-code workflows, and connectors to outside tools. The upside is real; so is the risk of “agent washing” and agents running without control.

We help you operationalize Opal with governance — scoping the workflows that earn their keep, wiring your data and guardrails, and keeping a human in the loop where it matters.

The move from PaaS to SaaS CMS

SaaS-native CMS with Visual Builder and Graph is where the product is heading, but the crossing from CMS 12/13 isn’t a lift-and-shift — content types are code-defined on PaaS and don’t port cleanly, and search moves from Find to Graph. It’s the single biggest source of unscoped effort we see.

We de-risk the migration — a clear read on what ports, what gets rebuilt, and a sequence that keeps today’s site running while you cross.

Staying visible as search becomes AI

With traffic predicted to shift toward AI answer engines, Optimizely shipped a GEO-ready CMS built for generative engine optimization — GEO metadata, Q&A structure, schema, llms.txt, and visibility analytics. The tooling is there; using it well is a content-and-structure discipline, not a switch.

We turn your CMS into a discovery engine for AI — structuring content so answer engines can find, summarize, and cite it, and tracking whether it’s working.

Experimentation that moves the bottom line

The hardest question in a mature program isn’t “are we testing?” — it’s “why isn’t all this testing moving the business?” Velocity without the right metrics produces motion, not growth. Teams plateau on resources, vanity metrics, and stalled culture.

We build the program, not just the tests — velocity your team can sustain, metrics tied to revenue and retention, and the operating model that keeps learning compounding.
The two big ones

The migration and the AI — where the money and the risk both live.

These are the two conversations that dominate Optimizely programs right now. Here’s how we approach each, concretely.

PaaS → SaaS migration

A migration that doesn’t stall the site you run today.

A PaaS to SaaS migration is a genuine architecture change, not an upgrade. We treat it as a program with a business case — native experimentation and personalization inside Visual Builder, queryable through Graph — and a sequence that protects continuity.

  • Read the current state. What ports, what gets rebuilt, and where the real effort hides — content types, Find→Graph, integrations.
  • Sequence the crossing. Run PaaS and SaaS in parallel where it de-risks; cut over on a plan, not a prayer.
  • Rebuild for the new model. Content modeling and Visual Builder done the SaaS-native way, not ported byte-for-byte.
  • Land and optimize. Graph-driven delivery, then experimentation and personalization as native capability, not afterthought.
Opal & agentic AI

Agents that do real work — with the guardrails to trust them.

Opal can plan, create, and orchestrate across the suite — but only pays off when the content and data underneath are structured for it, and when governance is designed in from the start. We help you move from “switched on” to genuinely operating.

  • Map the opportunities. Where agents genuinely save time or lift quality across CMS, CMP, and experimentation — and where they don’t.
  • Ready the foundation. Structured content, clean data, and connected tools so agents have the context to be accurate.
  • Design the guardrails. Brand, compliance, and human-in-the-loop controls before anything touches production.
  • Orchestrate and measure. Build the workflows, connect your data via MCP and integrations, and track what they actually deliver.
What makes this work

None of this lands without the right team behind it. Here’s how we’re set up to deliver across the suite:

How we deliver

A senior, accountable pod — sized to how you actually work.

You work with a dedicated Pod Leader who owns the engagement, and a cross-functional team whose effort scales to each sprint’s goals rather than a fixed headcount. Whether you need a build, an experimentation program, or Optimizely managed services to run it day to day, it’s the same accountable team — depth across the whole suite without the overhead of coordinating a patchwork of specialists.

● Dedicated Pod Leader — owns your engagement
CMS engineering Experimentation / CRO Opal & agentic AI Front-end & Visual Builder Graph & integrations Personalization & data Strategy & GTM

One team that carries knowledge of your Optimizely stack forward — utilization flexes with the sprint, the accountable people don’t rotate out from under you.

  • Engaged how it suits you. A set of capabilities, a defined program, or a roadmap — the pod is the basis for all three, not an all-or-nothing commitment.
  • Depth without the seams. CMS, experimentation, and AI in one accountable team — no managing the handoffs between separate vendors.
  • Measured on outcomes. We hold your objectives as our own and measure ourselves by what moves your business, not tickets closed.

cxontology in brief

A holistic digital partner — with deep Optimizely expertise at its core.

Optimizely is one of the platforms we go deepest on, and it sits inside a broader team — so we can run your whole Optimizely footprint and stay aware of everything around it: the data, the channels, and the go-to-market motion it all feeds.

Three pillars

Digital Experience Engineering, Go-to-Market, and AI & Agentic Activation. Optimizely work draws on all three — the build, the growth motion, and the AI that now runs through both.

Senior & accountable

A cross-functional pod with a named Pod Leader who owns your engagement — direct access to the people doing the work, not layers between you and them.

POV from the work

Our perspective comes from active engagements, not the sidelines — the same practitioners who publish our thinking are the ones on your program.

Start with a read

A pro-bono Optimizely health read.

Before any engagement, we’ll give you an honest, independent read on your Optimizely setup — calibrated to your business, drawn from publicly discoverable signals plus a short conversation. No obligation.

  • Where value is leaking — across CMS, experimentation, personalization, and cost.
  • Migration & upgrade readiness — if a PaaS to SaaS or CMS 12→13 move is on the horizon.
  • AI & GEO readiness — whether your content and data are structured for Opal and AI discovery.
  • The two or three moves — that would matter most, prioritized, in plain language.

Drop your URL and we’ll start your health read.

For multi-brand or global brands, specify the exact subdomain (e.g., us.yourbrand.com).
