In recent news the UK-based Web CMS vendor Immediacy began trumpeting a new lightweight document management system (DMS) add-on.

Immediacy doubtless wants to make it easier for smaller UK government organizations to use them as their sole vendor, without the need to invest in third-party document management systems. That might work for some, but buyers should remember, that there is no "One Ring To Rule Them All." It is already difficult or impossible to find one CMS well-suited for the multiple scenarios in your enterprise. In our research we found Immediacy a decent fit for only three out of our twelve scenarios.
