The Sitecore MVP award is built around a simple idea: expertise becomes more valuable when it is shared. For 2025, Zont Digital team members Martin Miles and Boris Brodsky were both recognized as Technology MVPs.
Recognition for contribution, not certification
Sitecore’s Most Valuable Professional program recognizes people who consistently help the wider ecosystem learn. That contribution can take the form of technical writing, open-source work, product feedback, mentoring, user groups, conference sessions, or practical guidance drawn from delivery experience.
Sitecore named 241 MVPs globally for 2025: 145 Technology MVPs, 61 Ambassadors, 34 Strategy MVPs, and one Honorary MVP. Forty-three recipients were first-time MVPs. Martin and Boris appear in the Technology category, which recognizes deep technical knowledge and meaningful community contribution.
Two technical leaders, one shared standard
Platform depth
Martin’s work spans Sitecore architecture, headless delivery, XM Cloud, developer enablement, and sustained knowledge-sharing across the community.
Applied intelligence
Boris connects Sitecore engineering with data, cloud, automation, and applied AI—turning platform capability into practical operating models.
Why community expertise matters to enterprise teams
Enterprise platform programs rarely fail because a team cannot make software run. They fail when architecture choices age badly, delivery assumptions go unchallenged, or the operating model cannot keep pace with the platform. Community-active specialists have a broader evidence base: they see recurring patterns across implementations and learn from peers who are solving adjacent problems.
- Earlier pattern recognition. Known platform constraints and migration risks are identified before they become expensive.
- Better architectural judgment. Decisions are evaluated against real implementation patterns, not product diagrams alone.
- Faster capability transfer. Teams receive context, documentation, and mentoring—not only finished code.
- A stronger feedback loop. Lessons from delivery inform the community, and community learning improves the next delivery.
Turning recognition into practice
At Zont, senior expertise is meant to be close to the work. That means experienced architects remain involved in discovery, technical decisions, quality control, and knowledge transfer. The objective is not to accumulate credentials. It is to reduce avoidable risk and leave client teams more capable than when the engagement began.
The 2025 recognition of Martin and Boris reflects that operating principle: learn continuously, contribute openly, and apply the learning where it can improve a real business outcome.
