Web Content Management evaluations updated

22-Sep-2010

Tags: Web Content and Experience Management, Marketplace at Large, Selecting Technology, Sitecore , Universal Content Management , WordPress

This month, we've updated our evaluations of three Web CMS vendors:

  • Oracle: - some useful enhancements with the "11g" edition, but also some dismaying new dependencies on Oracle platform tools
  • Sitecore: - a surprisingly significant dot-release with some complex architectural revisions under the hood
  • WordPress: - becoming more of a true CMS with custom content types, though several frustrating limitations endure

Web CMS research subscribers can download the new evaluations here. They're also included with any one-time purchase of The Web CMS Report, covering 44 vendors in total.

    Excerpt from the Universal Content Management Evaluation

    Web Content Management Report looks at... Idoc Script in Oracle Universal Content Management

    "Idoc Script -- developed originally by Stellent as a page language -- is simple, VB-like, and has been extended by Oracle with new methods (so it's not going away any time soon). You can use Idoc for a variety of purposes. However, because Idoc Script is a proprietary language, in a world that's turning more and more in the direction of open standards, developers who have experience with this one-off language are increasingly hard to find. It's certainly not a great career builder for your own engineers, although some of them will need to learn it, regardless..."
