Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Mediasurface Morello

"Mediasurface also now offers a small hosted solution, mostly for creative agencies, called Pepperio (acquired a little over a year ago), and more recently, in June 2007, Mediasurface acquired mid-tier player Immediacy, which it plans to maintain as a separate product. The company claims it is now well-positioned to compete across a large portion of the CMS landscape. Our take is that managing three different CMS products can be very distracting, and we don't see many "synergies" among the tools or partner bases. On the other hand, most of the risks going forward would seem to reside more with Immediacy customers rather than the company's flagship Morello base. "

More about The Web CMS Report 2009

Our customers say

"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.

Mediasurface lands some big ones

01-Apr-2005

As the Web content management industry moves downmarket and even large companies buy in smaller increments, big deals have become scarcer. But they have not disappeared. UK-based CMS Vendor Mediasurface recently announced some large contracts: for example, one with Citigroup for a Corporate and Investment Banking intranet across EMEA that the company is "worth in excess of £500,000 will contribute over £400,000 in this financial year." And project of similar financial size with the UK Home Office. Don't count all those pounds yet, folks: big CMS projects have an unfortunate tendency to implode before completion. But still, sometimes even the smaller (~75 employees) players can land some big ones...
