From Vision to Velocity: Introducing the Optimizely MVP Technical Roundtable

Digital transformation is a two-sided coin. On one side, you have the high-level strategy, the business cases, the customer journeys, and the operational shifts. On the other, you have the technical architecture, the code, the integrations, and the infrastructure that bring those ideas to life.

Last month, we explored the strategic side with our Strategy OMVPs (catch up on those episodes here). But today, we’re opening the hood.

We are thrilled to release our latest Technical OMVP Roundtable. This two-part deep dive features the architects and engineers who are on the front lines of the Optimizely ecosystem, solving the most complex implementation challenges in the industry.

Why This Matters (The Strategy-Tech Handover)

If the Strategy Roundtable was about what we should build, the Technical Roundtable is about how we build it to last. Optimizely Most Valuable Professionals (OMVPs) are divided into these two categories to ensure that every angle of a project is covered:

• Strategy OMVPs: Focus on the GTM landscape, change management, business outcomes, and more.

• Technical OMVPs: Focus on technical migrations, SaaS CMS architecture, API-first integrations, developer experience, and more

Technical Roundtable: What’s Under the Hood?

In this new two-part series, our technical experts pull no punches. They discuss the "messy" reality of enterprise builds and share the shortcuts they’ve discovered.

Part 1: The Modern Stack & Migrations

• CMS 12 & .NET Core: Real-world advice on moving from older versions to the modern, high-performance stack.

• The "Breaking Change" Survival Guide: How to handle upgrades without disrupting the business.

Part 2: Scalability, Experimentation & The Future

• SaaS CMS & Visual Builder: The group’s take on Optimizely’s shift toward SaaS and what it means for back-end developers.

• The Power of Graph: Leveraging Optimizely Graph and ODP (Optimizely Data Platform) for sub-second personalization.

Or you can listen to the full episode as a podcast.

Meet the Architects

These OMVPs aren't just experts, they are mentors. They are the ones writing the documentation, contributing to open-source plugins, and answering the toughest questions in the community forums. When you watch these episodes, you aren’t just getting "best practices", you’re getting a peek into the playbooks of the world’s top Optimizely partners.
