When 66KB really equals 4.12MB

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 1-Sep-2010

Added By Apoorv Durga on 30-Aug-2010

Sitecore 6.3 is more Major than Minor

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 30-Aug-2010

Danish CMS vendor Sitecore released their new version 6.3 last month. For me, the immediate question always is: how much has changed? It's only a dot release, so it shouldn't be anything major, right? Well ... Continue Reading

Added By Tony Byrne on 26-Aug-2010

Vendor Landscapes and Horse Races

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 19-Aug-2010

There's an odd fascination with equestrianism in technology. Vendor landscapes are often described as horse races; there's leaders and laggards, winners and losers. That's great for gamblers, investors, and jockeys. But it's not very useful ... Continue Reading

What Exactly is IDOL, Anyway?

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 18-Aug-2010

There's a lot of mysticism shrouding Autonomy's mega-search offering, "IDOL." Not in the least bit because every piece of software that is acquired by the vendor is either "plugged into," "powered by," or "integrated with" IDOL. Supposedly, ... Continue Reading

Beware the WEM trap

Added By Apoorv Durga on 17-Aug-2010

You should be forewarned that in their quest for improving presentation management, vendors are soft-pedaling many core CMS concepts which haven't really seen a lot of innovation in recent times, and this, too, could impact your website visitor experience. ... Continue Reading

SharePoint's FAST 2010 is not as cheap as you might think

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 13-Aug-2010

However, make no mistake: FAST may be a lot less expensive, but it's certainly not going to come cheap. Not in the least bit because implementing it right will still be an expert's job. ... Continue Reading

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 12-Aug-2010

This year's big plan for Swedish Web CMS vendor EPiServer was to go public on July 30th. In the end, though, that didn't quite work out: EPi withdrew at the last minute ... Continue Reading

Making sense of IT gibberish

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 12-Aug-2010

Cri Du Coeur for Records Management

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 4-Aug-2010
