Closing the Orchestration Gap: Connecting your Customers with the Right Message, Moment and Channel

 

Customers don’t experience channels, they experience brands. Yet for many businesses, email, SMS, web, and other touchpoints still operate in parallel rather than as one connected journey. In this session, Bloomreach explores how AI is helping brands close the orchestration gap and create more connected customer experiences through the right message, moment, and channel. Leaders from DUSK.com, On the Beach, and Sinch then discuss what true orchestration looks like in practice, what gets in the way, and how brands can move beyond simply being omnichannel.

In this session, Roger Donald, Head of Website Services at NHS England, will share the story of the Website Consolidation programme, which is taking on 600+ websites and 39 CMS platforms. He will cover what the programme revealed about trust and provenance, how canonical ambiguity creates failure demand and amplifies AI risk, and how a governed headless approach with Bloomreach lays the groundwork for AI-assisted authoring, governance and publishing. This is your opportunity to hear honest early lessons from a large public-sector organisation, see a practical four-level model for agentic readiness, and consider how your own content and governance foundations measure up before AI is asked to act on them.

The AI CMS Reality: What’s Working, What Isn’t, What Comes Next
