Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Stellent 's API

"Like most of its competitors, the product offers a variety of APIs, including Java, JSP, and COM, although some are more robust than others. And like many competitors, Stellent employs its own scripting language, "iDoc," which is VB-like. Developers, however, should note that it contains only a small fraction of VB functions. You use iDoc not just to manipulate..."

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.

Stellent announces Blog, Wiki, RSS modules

15-Feb-2006   --  

CMS vendor Stellent has announced the development of blog, wiki, and RSS modules. The move makes sense; I've long advocated that RSS can form the basis for simple enterprise integration, and that blogs and wikis are just another CMS content type, albeit loaded with special cultural and user-experience norms and expectations. Regarding expectations, Stellent wisely bowed to convention by allowing wikipedia-style wiki tags as well as regular HTML mark-up. I'm not surprised that Stellent was first to roll out this sort of functionality among all the major ECM suite players (many smaller CMS vendors have been promoting these capabilities for some time). I would have more reassurance that Stellent actually "gets it" if some of their employees were openly blogging (like those at IBM, Sun, and Microsoft), or if Stellent hosted documentation wikis like many open-source projects support. But that's grist for a forthcoming article...
