Videos: Priocept on multilingual ecommerce Sitecore website for Virgin Mobile

In June 2011, Priocept gave two presentations at Sitecore’s DreamcoreEU 2011 event in London. We spoke about the multilingual ecommerce Sitecore website we built for Virgin Mobile in Qatar in the Middle East. Here are the videos from the two sessions: one focused on the business case and user experience, and the second covers the more technical aspects of the project.

We also gave an interview about our experience of Sitecore as a Sitecore Partner. Other videos of the sessions at DreamcoreEU 2011 are also online here.
