What others say about The Web CMS Report 2009

"I think The Web CMS Report is well worth it. Information is always key to good decisions, don't skip that step! It's also surprisingly well written and not as dry as you would expect. I have an IT background and also a writing (English Literature) background, so I very much appreciated the balance of charts, tech info, and plain speaking good old sentences! "
-- Paul Whittle, Web Manager, Memorial University

"The Web CMS Report is excellent! Very well written, and you've done a masterful job explaining the business case for WCM."
-- Peter Morville, Consultant, Author, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web

"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

"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)

"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

"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

Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Content Server's Web Services API

"Java APIs are also exposed as Web Services, with SOAP bindings and WSDL files automatically configured. Like other vendors, however, results in the field using these new APIs have been mixed at best. For one thing, the WSDL files point to JSP pages (so that FatWire can access its tag library) and not actual Java APIs. This limits substantially what you can do and brooks performance problems as well..."
