Stop Blaming IT

19-Nov-2009 | By Tony Byrne | All Social Trends

At the Interop conference yesterday I heard a familiar refrain: "IT is the problem." The epithet was issued by a cloud computing guru, but you could replace "cloud computing" with nearly any emerging technology and hear the same thing. Enterprise IT just doesn't adopt new technologies as fast as many consultants and analysts would wish ... Read more


RFI as rich asset

17-Nov-2009 | By Kas Thomas | All CMS Trends

I was talking with one of our Web CMS Report subscribers today, someone who is leading a state government's effort to modernize its WCM system. The question arose as to how to keep vendors from giving softball answers to hardball questions when submitting a Request for Information. I proposed a simple expedient ... Read more


The Death of Taxonomies, revisited

13-Nov-2009 | By Theresa Regli | All ECM Trends

Earlier this year I caused quite a stir when I predicted the death of taxonomies. Taxonomists worldwide told me I was an idiot, nuts, completely delusional. Some were deeply concerned that their jobs were threatened, as if employers would change org charts based on my prediction. Others secretly told me they agreed ... Read more


Is WCM fundamentally broken?

13-Nov-2009 | By Jarrod Gingras | All CMS Trends

Last week I attended the J. Boye Aarhus 2009 conference in Aarhus Denmark. For me, the highlight of the event was the opportunity to kick off the Web Content Management track by serving on a panel with Janus Boye (a.k.a., @janusboye) and LBi's Jon Marks (a.k.a., @mcboof). The theme of this panel was ... Read more


Do you really need in-context content editing?

13-Nov-2009 | By Apoorv Durga | All CMS Trends

Many Web CMS products tout "in-context," wiki-like content editing as an important feature or enhancement. In-context means letting contributors create or edit content from within the context of the site, without actually having to retrieve a content item from the back-end and filling in long forms ...

ECM: 2009 Market Overview


Our customers say

"The reviews of various CMS packages in the Web CMS report is well-structured, allowing readers with different roles to easily examine each product in detail and quickly make comparisons between products. But even better than the excellent product reviews is the clearly-written, comprehensive, and non-biased explanations of the Web CMS landscape. In addition to making it easier to more fully-appreciate the massive amounts of product information, it also provides readers with great guidance that will assist them with any CMS selection and implementation.
