Thoughts on the future of content management

1-Nov-2005

Tags: Web Content and Experience Management, Marketplace at Large

Lou Rosenfeld graciously interviewed me for Digital Web magazine. We touched on a wide variety of subjects, including rising tensions between "web" and "enterprise" content management groups within large organizations, as well as the coming importance of canonical design patterns. Specifically:

Relativists think that all content management systems must be unique because companies’ content models and business processes are unique. Determinists—and some CMS consultants fall into this camp—think that they have figured content management out and therefore one need only apply their governance, organizational, or technical model, and everything will be fine. The right answer, of course, lies in between those two extremes.
I'll be elaborating on this idea next week in Denmark.
