What others say about The Web CMS Report 2008

"Very knowledgeable on Web technologies, and very effective on the topic at hand. I appreciated the impartiality to any vendor."
-- Jorge Rivera, Manager, South Florida WMD

"The Web CMS Report was the roadmap for our entire CMS selection process. It truly provided a basis for understanding what we should look for and expect in a CMS. Above all, since we used the report as our guide, we are more-than-confident in our CMS selection. If we had to go through the process all over again, we'd still rely as heavily on this report as the first time."
-- Michele McDonald, IT Project Manager, University of Oklahoma

"I wish I had found your Web CMS Report six months ago. The "Pitfalls to Avoid" section is worth its weight in gold!"
-- Georgeann Elliott Moss, Director of Internet Publishing, Dallas County Community College District

"The Web CMS Report is worth every penny!"
-- Gil Côté, President and CTO, iStudio Canada Inc.

"It [The Web CMS Report] allows me to save time and obtain a far better understanding of the market."
-- Leon Rudd, Head of eInitiatives, Siemens (Milton Keynes, UK)

"This excellent report has saved weeks of work reviewing the market place to enable a tender to be sent out to just a handful of potential vendors in record time. Well done."
-- Martin Beake, ITT Consultant, 2Sys Limited, Malmesbury, UK

"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."
-- Murray Thompson, P.Eng., Webmaster, City of Grande Prairie

"The Web CMS Report is invaluable for anyone who wants to understand the vendor landscape before they invest in a new Web Content Management system."
-- Barry Bealer, President, CEO, Really Strategies, Inc.

Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2008 looks at... EMC/Documentum 6 Web Content Management

"There are many advantages to storing content as native objects (several other CMS packages, like Zope and Ingeniux, do this), but you should understand that this is the first of several places where you enter a kind of netherworld of Documentum-specific interfaces and query languages. For example, you access the Content Server using "DQL," short for Documentum Query Language. If Content Server is storing XML, you access it through "XDQL," rather than standard XML can openers like XPath and XQuery. "

(p. 158)
