An enterprise DXP and CMS integration partner, or a product team and fractional CTO for the build. EXLRT is an enterprise digital experience shop. Its platforms page publishes partner status for Sitecore, RWS Tridion, Kentico and Umbraco, and its client page names global brands including Turkish Airlines and Disneyland Paris. We build bespoke products and run as a fractional CTO for founders and scale-ups. If your project is a Sitecore, Tridion or Kentico implementation for a large brand, they are the platform specialists. If you are building a product and weighing whether to build it at all, the comparison shifts. Independent comparison published by Wavect. Not affiliated with or endorsed by EXLRT. Illustrative buyer scenario, not a customer quotation The DXP migration went fine. The new product we wanted to build on top of it was not a CMS project, so it needed a different conversation and a different team. TL;DR EXLRT delivers enterprise DXP, CMS, AI, data, and tailored integration work, with certifications across major content platforms. We build bespoke products and run as fractional CTO. Pick EXLRT for a large platform program. Pick us when the product and the build-or-not question still share one owner. // 01 ## Decision snapshot VerdictThe practical split: for an enterprise DXP or CMS implementation on a platform EXLRT publishes partner status for, they are the specialists. [1](#cmp-src-1) For a bespoke product build and fractional CTO, talk to us. ### Wavect is best when - You are building a product, not implementing a CMS. The hard part is the software, not the platform configuration. - You want a fractional CTO and product judgement, especially before product-market fit. - You want senior people on weekly outcomes, founders accountable, cancel any week. ### The alternative is best when - Your project is a Sitecore, RWS Tridion, Kentico or Umbraco implementation or migration. EXLRT publishes partner status for all four of those platforms and we publish none. [1](#cmp-src-1) - You are a large brand needing enterprise content operations, multi-language DXP and platform integration at scale. Its client page names Turkish Airlines, Disneyland Paris, Adidas and Kaiser Permanente. [3](#cmp-src-3) - You want a vendor sized for a long enterprise program. Its Clutch profile lists a band of 50 to 249 employees across five office locations, and its about page states more than 20 years in operation. [4](#cmp-src-4) [2](#cmp-src-2) ### Questions to ask before you choose 1. Ask whether your need actually requires one of the platforms EXLRT publishes partner status for (Sitecore, RWS Tridion, Kentico, Umbraco), or whether committing to a DXP would tie the product you want to a platform you did not choose for its own sake. [1](#cmp-src-1) 2. Ask who owns the decision of what to build, or whether the engagement is to implement to spec on a platform that has already been chosen. 3. Ask on what basis the engagement is priced and whether any part of the fee is tied to platform licensing or ongoing platform usage. Its Clutch profile lists an hourly band of USD 50 to 99 and a minimum project size of USD 10,000. [4](#cmp-src-4) ### Commercial risk to watch - The visible price is not the whole cost; the risk sits in core strength, typical project, and the moment scope changes. - Ask what the vendor is paid to increase: hours, seats, retained advice, platform usage, or shipped outcomes. ### Evidence notes - Every statement about EXLRT on this page comes from the numbered sources below, each with the date we opened it. Pages change, so re-check them, along with pricing, legal entity, references and terms, before you sign. - We name partner statuses in the exact words EXLRT uses, because a partner tier and a certification are not the same thing. Nothing on this page is a claim about the quality of their work. // 02 ## Project fit: not limited to small builds Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold. // 03 ## How they actually differ Six dimensions where EXLRT and Wavect actually diverge. | WAVECT | DIMENSION | ALTERNATIVE | | --- | --- | --- | | Bespoke product builds and fractional CTO. We start from the product, not the platform. | CORE STRENGTH | Enterprise DXP and CMS. Its platforms page publishes partner status as a Sitecore Affiliate partner, an official RWS partner, a Kentico Implementation Partner and an Umbraco Partner. [1](#cmp-src-1) | | MVPs, full builds, AI and blockchain products, QA, fractional technical leadership. | TYPICAL PROJECT | Enterprise CMS and DXP implementation, integration and content operations for large brands. Its client page names Turkish Airlines, Disneyland Paris, ACI Worldwide and Kaiser Permanente. [3](#cmp-src-3) | | Weekly outcome fee or fixed-price Werkvertrag. No timesheets. | PRICING MODEL | Enterprise integration and partnership engagements. Its Clutch profile lists an hourly band of USD 50 to 99 and a minimum project size of USD 10,000; we did not find pricing on its own site. [4](#cmp-src-4) | | Founders carrying product and technical depth in one head. | WHO YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO | Enterprise delivery and integration teams. Its Clutch profile lists a band of 50 to 249 employees across five office locations. [4](#cmp-src-4) | | We answer ‘should you even build this’ before we build it. | PRODUCT QUESTION | Engaged to implement on a chosen platform to enterprise spec, per its published platform and services scope. [1](#cmp-src-1) | | DACH-native, Austria-based, English and German delivery. | LOCALITY | Published office addresses in Naarden in the Netherlands, Dover DE in the United States, and Novi Sad and Nis in Serbia. [2](#cmp-src-2) Practically that means a different working day from a DACH buyer, so agree overlap hours and the delivery language up front. | // 04 ## The real difference, in practice EXLRT is an enterprise DXP and CMS specialist. Its platforms page publishes its relationship to each platform in specific terms: a Sitecore Affiliate partner, an official RWS partner, a Kentico Implementation Partner and an Umbraco Partner. [1](#cmp-src-1) Optimizely is listed among the platforms it works with; on the page we reviewed we did not find a stated Optimizely partner status. [1](#cmp-src-1) Where certification is stated, it is on the about page, which describes the largest team of certified RWS Tridion Sites developers. [2](#cmp-src-2) Its client page names Turkish Airlines, Disneyland Paris, ACI Worldwide, Adidas and Kaiser Permanente. [3](#cmp-src-3) If your project is a digital-experience platform or a CMS implementation on one of those stacks, that focus is exactly what the job needs, and a generalist would be the wrong hire. [1](#cmp-src-1) We build bespoke products and run as fractional CTO. The work we own is the custom product that is not a CMS project, and the prior question of whether a platform implementation is even the right answer for what you are trying to build. One difference is geography rather than quality. EXLRT publishes office addresses in Naarden in the Netherlands, Dover DE in the United States, and Novi Sad and Nis in Serbia, and its Clutch profile lists five office locations and a band of 50 to 249 employees. [2](#cmp-src-2) [4](#cmp-src-4) We are based in Austria and deliver in German and English. Ask both vendors which working hours overlap with yours and which language the delivery calls run in, then decide whether that matters for your project. Neither answer is a shortcoming: a distributed European and US footprint is a normal way to run an enterprise integration practice. [2](#cmp-src-2) So that is the honest dividing line. If you have already decided on a DXP and need it implemented well, EXLRT is the specialist. [1](#cmp-src-1) If you are not sure the answer is a CMS at all, or the thing you want is a bespoke product on top, that conversation is ours.

The hard part is the software, not the platform configuration. - You want a fractional CTO and product judgement, especially before product-market fit. - You want senior people on weekly outcomes, founders accountable, cancel any week. - You are a DACH founder who wants a partner in the same time zone and language, building bespoke. // 02 ### When EXLRT is the better call - Your project is a Sitecore, RWS Tridion, Kentico or Umbraco implementation or migration. EXLRT publishes partner status for all four of those platforms and we publish none. [1](#cmp-src-1) - You are a large brand needing enterprise content operations, multi-language DXP and platform integration at scale. Its client page names Turkish Airlines, Disneyland Paris, Adidas and Kaiser Permanente. [3](#cmp-src-3) - You want a vendor sized for a long enterprise program. Its Clutch profile lists a band of 50 to 249 employees across five office locations, and its about page states more than 20 years in operation. [4](#cmp-src-4) [2](#cmp-src-2) - The platform is already chosen and the job is implementation, not the product question. For an enterprise DXP or CMS implementation on a platform it publishes partner status for, a specialist like EXLRT fits.

No. If your project is a Sitecore, RWS Tridion or Kentico build, a platform partner like EXLRT is the right call, and it publishes partner status for all three. [1](#cmp-src-1) We build bespoke products and run as fractional CTO, which is a different job. ### We are an enterprise. Is Wavect too small? For a large platform program with heavy procurement, possibly, and an established enterprise partner fits better. The Clutch profile for EXLRT lists a band of 50 to 249 employees across five office locations. [4](#cmp-src-4) For a focused bespoke product or fractional technical leadership, our size is the advantage. ### Is EXLRT a DACH agency? Not by its published addresses. Its about page lists offices in Naarden in the Netherlands, Dover DE in the United States, and Novi Sad and Nis in Serbia. [2](#cmp-src-2) That is a practical difference in working hours and delivery language rather than a shortcoming, so ask both of us which hours overlap with yours. ### What if I need both a CMS and a custom product? Use a platform partner for the DXP and us for the bespoke product on top. The split is clean and common.
