Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Composite Application Development

"Microsoft has made a significant investment in the Web Parts approach to integration. You should understand, however, that Web Parts (like their Java cousins, portlets) alone doth not a composite application make. A single Web Part exposing information from Repository X in one part of the page, collected with another Web Part exposing information from Repository Y in a different panel on the same page, is not a composite application -- it's your typical portal dashboard. A composite application attempts to mash up information, services, or processes from multiple different repositories and/or applications in a single, actionable view. "

(p. 131)

Verticalization of CMS continues

09-Jul-2004 --

It seems like small and/or regional content management providers do well when they specialize on an industry segment. In fact, we continue to see more Web content management solutions targeted at particular verticals, despite oft-predicted warnings of imminent collapse or roll-ups of niche providers in the field. You can find Web content management systems specifically for local government, sports franchises, hospitals, and now -- with the just-released "TourCMS" -- for travel websites as well. We can't vouch for the quality of all these systems, but there must be meaning to their proliferation...
