Kentico partners come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, 5-10 people operations, while others are enormous titans of industry with employee counts into the hundreds. While these companies may operate and handle their projects differently, one thing remains: they all must come up with a plan to move to MVC. As one of our largest partners, MMT Digital has crafted a unique process to get their team up to date. And because our MVPs are such awesome folks, Ilesh Mistry recently told me all about their MVC plans.

Having a large development can bring a lot of advantages. With more developers, knowledge and experience can be exchanged easily as downtime can be minimized with group trainings and meetings. For smaller development teams, the impact is far greater, often requiring special planning when a new technology is being adopted. In this article, I’ll share with you some highlights from my recent interview with Founder of Kehren Development and Kentico MVP Brenden Kehren on how his team is making the transition to MVC in preparation for Kentico 12.

In this edition of Kentico 1 on 1, I sat down with DevNet rock star and overall good guy Brenden Kehren, of Kehren Development. As many of you know, Brenden is one of the most active members on the forums and helps tons of developers every week with their challenges. What you may not know is how much he works with maintaining sites, upgrading installations, and implementing new code for existing solutions. Because this information can help every company with their projects, I asked Brenden about how he goes about working with different projects in various environments.

In this Kentico 1 on 1, I talked with Andy Thompson (CTO at Get Started) about his experience with CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) and how his company uses them within their projects. Andy has been developing high performing sites for years and has implemented many solutions with some unique CDN capabilities. 

In this edition of Kentico 1 on 1, I spoke with Juraj Ondrus, Kentico’s Technical Support Leader. A veteran of Kentico (he’s been here for over nine years), Juraj has helped hundreds of developers solve their issues and has certainly seen just about every implementation of Kentico imaginable. In this edition, I asked Juraj about his role within Kentico, common Support requests, and the not-so-common requests that have come through.

Nearly every enterprise project requires integration with multiple systems. Often, data needs to be mapped from one system to another, requiring in-depth knowledge of business processes and relationships. In this Kentico 1 on 1, I talked with Kentico MVP Jeroen Fürst about Connect & Conquer, Kentico Gold Partner TrueLime’s answer to this challenge, and how it can simplify the integration process.

In this edition of Kentico 1-on-1, I spoke with High Monkey CEO and Founder Virgil Carroll on integrating SharePoint Search with Kentico. Virgil and his team have done some really interesting work in the search space with Kentico and have a lot of great insight for companies.

In this Kentico 1-on-1, I sat down with Kentico Consulting Manager, Miro Remias, to discuss what his department does and how customers can leverage this great service for their projects. With several years of Support and Consulting experience, Miro has a ton of knowledge on projects and provided a great overview of the program and how they assist developers. 

In this edition of Kentico 1-on-1, I sat with Kentico’s Content Management Product Owner, David Komarek. A veteran in the company with experience in nearly every aspect, David has some great insights into our MVC support, upcoming version 9 features, and what the future looks like for developers. David shared his thoughts on what developers can look forward to the most and how they can help shape the product moving forward. 

In this edition of Kentico 1-on-1, I had a chance to talk with the Kentico CEO, Petr Palas. A former developer turned owner; Petr has a very interesting history with the CMS industry and how Kentico came to be. In our talk, Petr shared with me his thoughts on the CMS community, how Kentico fits, and some of his favorite parts of the product.
