Episerver has launched Episerver Insight and a new headless API in a move designed to help organizations gain visitor intelligence and deliver better experiences. The new tool mines Episerver’s data management platform (DMP) to help users act on behavioral data and create segmentation and targeting. Marketers can track digital behavior of both authenticated customers and anonymous visitors.

The new headless API further extends Episerver’s platform to help digital experiences. It offers a hybrid architecture that supports coupled, decoupled and purely headless scenarios. The API enables users to pull content directly from the platform and project it into any number of applications, according to Episerver officials. Those applications include: IoT, native mobile apps, digital in-store screens, legacy platforms and conversational devices and the content management tools native to the Episerver Digital Experience Cloud. “Our unique approach to headless is all about simplifying the extension of digital experiences to every channel and device,” Episerver CMO James Norwood said in a statement.
