Dataweavers, a Sitecore Velocity Partner, is proud to announce that Arc is now commercially available through Sitecore, meaning any organisation purchasing SitecoreAI can add Arc as their front-end hosting and platform operations layer in a single transaction. There's no separate vendor negotiation, no additional procurement cycle. Arc is part of the Sitecore offering.
For enterprise teams, that change matters more than it might first appear.
When organisations move to SitecoreAI, whether from a legacy Sitecore version or a different DXP entirely, the technical migration is only part of the challenge. Standing up a production-ready headless platform that meets enterprise security, compliance, and operational requirements has typically added months to a project: infrastructure decisions, vendor evaluations, security reviews, and integration work that sits outside the scope of the core platform migration.
Arc removes that overhead. Because it's available directly through Sitecore, teams can arrive at their migration project with their platform operations layer already decided, contracted, and ready to deploy. Environments, regions, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines are configured through the Arc dashboard in days rather than months, without waiting on different teams.
It's a shift that matters beyond the technical. Greg Bennett, SVP Customer Value Realization at Sitecore, puts it directly:
"Sitecore's Velocity program is about turning trusted partnerships into tangible customer outcomes. Dataweavers brings deep expertise in governance, compliance, and enterprise-scale operations, which is exactly what global Sitecore customers need as they modernize. Making Arc available directly through Sitecore simplifies adoption and accelerates value driven through SitecoreAI, all within the customer's own Azure environment."
Arc runs your entire headless platform inside your own Azure tenant, front-end hosting, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, security, observability, and ongoing operations, all under a single SLA.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Your data doesn't leave your environment. Arc is Azure-native by design. For organisations in regulated industries - healthcare, finance, government - data sovereignty isn't optional. Arc runs inside your existing Azure governance boundary, which means security reviews and compliance sign-offs are working with infrastructure that already meets your standards, not against it.
Security is built in, not bolted on. Arc's security model, covering edge protection, WAF, network isolation, always-patched infrastructure, vulnerability management, and identity controls, is part of the platform from day one. That removes a common source of delay on enterprise projects, where security reviews often surface requirements that need to be retrofitted into infrastructure choices already made.
Operational confidence from day one. Full platform operations are built in - monitoring, observability, CI/CD, and WebOps - automated from the start. Dataweavers proactively manages the operational layer so your team can stay focused on code and content. Multi-region, multi-language, and multi-brand deployments run on a single platform, covered by industry-leading SLAs across the full stack.
One vendor, full accountability. Dataweavers is the single point of contact for the platform layer. One SLA. One support contact. When something needs attention, there's no ambiguity about who owns it.
Arc deployments count toward Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments (MACC), meaning Arc spend works within your existing Microsoft agreements rather than sitting outside them. For CFOs and IT leaders focused on cloud spend efficiency, this consolidates infrastructure spend and turns Arc from a net-new cost into a smart use of investment you've already made.
Arc was built for the environments where the stakes are highest: regulated industries, multi-region deployments, complex integrations, and organisations that need a platform partner who can be held accountable across the full stack.
The Sitecore partnership makes Arc accessible at the point where enterprise teams most need it, at the start of a migration, not after months of infrastructure work have already accumulated.
For Sitecore implementation partners and agencies, Arc provides a delivery foundation that reduces project risk and gives a clear answer to the hardest security and compliance questions before they arise.
