Latest updates to WCM vendor evaluations

29-Jul-2010

Tags: Web Content Management, Intranets, Marketplace at Large, Selecting Technology, Software-as-a-Service, Drupal Commons, Dynamic Site Platform, GOSS iCM, OU Campus

This month we updated evaluations for four Web CMS vendors: SaaS players Clickability and OmniUpdate, as well as Drupal and GOSS.

One observation: although the SaaS-based web content management vendors continue to do well, they haven't reached the critical mass that many observers predicted several years ago. We still see greater interest for on-premise solutions -- particularly for Intranets -- but also for public websites. Although hosted providers garner more deals each year, they don't dominate the Web CMS market, and if there's some tipping point here, it feels a long way off.

For you the customer, I encourage you to at least explore the SaaS alternative (too many dismiss it outright), but by the same token, don't get sucked into the hype that the future is "all SaaS." The future is partly-SaaSy. You have a lot of choices either way. I hope our detailed evaluations can help you make the right decisions.
