Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Sitecore CMS

"Given the complexity of the product, you'll probably want to spend time thinking about how to map functionality to the skill level of your users. Many Sitecore customers report that less-technical users find themselves exposed to too many options. "My marketing folks get a bit overwhelmed by the options," says one project manager, "so I keep them away from most of Sitecore's capabilities. "

(p. 456)

More about The Web CMS Report 2009

Our customers say

"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.

Next release of Sitecore to be based on delayed Office 2007

18-Apr-2006

While Microsoft has delayed the next version of Office, Danish CMS vendor Sitecore has recently announced that it will fulfill its promise of delivering the next release (V5.3 due out in July) based on Office 2007 usability principles. According to the company, Sitecore's updated editor is designed to "match the user interface of Microsoft products as closely as possible." With this bold announcement Sitecore demonstrates its impressive engineering skills, but as always licensees should make sure to look past the initial screens and test carefully, particularly since new UI concepts are being introduced here long before Microsoft has acclimated the marketplace to them. CMS Report readers already know that Sitecore is actually more web development platform than CMS.
