HCLSoftware and HCLTech are headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.
What it is
HCL Digital Experience is an enterprise platform for bringing content, data, applications, and business processes together for customers, employees, and partners. It manages web content and digital assets through editing, publication, versioning, and lifecycle controls. WCM REST APIs provide headless access for mobile apps, commerce sites, and standalone React applications. A personalization engine supports rules and campaigns and has its own REST API. Teams can combine applications, content, and assets into websites with role-based access control. Integrations listed by HCL include HCL Commerce, HCL Connections, HCL Leap, HCL Volt MX Foundry, Huddo Boards, SharePoint, and IBM MobileFirst. Deployment can be on premises with WebSphere Application Server, in Kubernetes containers, or through cloud, on-premises, and hybrid models including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. The Free / Trial plan costs nothing and includes unlimited sites and end users, one content author, unlimited developers, one environment, and forum support. Full pricing is on request.
