Atex? Who?

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 8-Sep-2010

A couple of people pinged me last week, basically asking, "who are these Atex people?" (The company's name got a bit elevated when they made it onto Gartner's recent Magic Quadrant analysis for web content management.) ... Continue Reading

What's next for the mobile Internet in India

Added By Apoorv Durga on 30-Aug-2010

Last week, I attended two conferences in Delhi. Coincidentally, both of them were on similar topics. The first one, organized by Indian trade body, NASSCOM was about mobile Internet and appstores, while the second one was about mobile applications (although it ended up as a conference for sales pitches by device vendors) ...

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

Getting beyond the Magic Quadrant for WCM

Added By Tony Byrne on 26-Aug-2010

Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management 2010 is out, accompanied by vendors' public crowing and private tears, depending on their placement. You can get a copy of the MQ from Sitecore, who just obtained a ticket on the magic elevator ... Continue Reading

Skeptical about DotNetNuke getting enterprisey

Added By Tony Byrne on 20-Aug-2010

Many observers expected big things when DotNetNuke Corporation raised serious venture capital in November, 2008. (DotNetNuke Corporation is the commercial entity behind the sprawling, open source CMS community by the same name) ... Continue Reading

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

CMS Vendor EPiServer Not Going Public

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

Explaining technical concepts -- which are often quite abstract -- can be quite a challenge. So at the Real Story Group we often try to be creative in how we go about explaining things ... Continue Reading

Document Asset Management?

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 9-Aug-2010

You probably see a variety of overlapping terms to describe the management of content.  One example is "assets" -- aren't all content items assets of one kind or another? ... Continue Reading

Subsites - up front vs. ongoing costs

Added By David Hobbs on 2-Aug-2010

Do you run or plan a site with hundreds or thousands of subsites? If so, you have many unique issues to deal with, including complex permissions, templating, taxonomy, and UI requirements ... Continue Reading

Adobe To Acquire Day - Second Take - DAM Perspective

Added By Theresa Regli on 2-Aug-2010

As a digital asset management analyst, one of the most common questions I get is, "Why doesn't Adobe have its own DAM?" ... Continue Reading

Latest updates to WCM vendor evaluations

Added By Tony Byrne on 29-Jul-2010

Adobe To Acquire Day - First Take-ECM Perspective

Added By Apoorv Durga on 28-Jul-2010

Adobe Systems today announced their intent to acquire Day Software. We've seen Adobe featuring in many Content Management RFPs and although they had some of the necessary pieces including Adobe Contribute and LiveCycle, they were never taken seriously as a Content Management player. An OEM deal with Alfresco a few years back though well intentioned didn't help much but this announcement will surely change the situation dramatically. ... Continue Reading

Evaluating SharePoint 2010 as a Content Management Platform

Added By Tony Byrne on 22-Jul-2010

With SharePoint 2010, Microsoft has strongly promoted the platform's upgraded content management capabilities. Now that the hype is died down, and there are production implementations in the field, it's possible to take a harder look ... Continue Reading

JackBe's App Store is interesting but not new

Added By Apoorv Durga on 19-Jul-2010

JackBe, one of the Mashup vendors we cover in our Portals and Content Integration Research, announced version 3.0 of their Mashup product Presto. The new version features enhancements ... Continue Reading

CoreMedia integrates with SAP NetWeaver Portal

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 15-Jul-2010

If you're running a SAP NetWeaver Portal -- presumably since you've bought into SAPs infrastructure -- you may have discovered it's not the most ideal of platforms to actually publish content on ... Continue Reading

Justifying the cost of e-government

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 9-Jul-2010

There is an outcry in the UK at the moment over the cost of building and maintaining Government websites. The figures released by the government relating to individual department website costs ... Continue Reading

Don't ogle search if you really want content management

Added By Tony Byrne on 8-Jul-2010

I'll agree with mega-vendor Autonomy on one key point: Search technology is really important. But is it so important that search functionality should dominate your choice in a content management system? ... Continue Reading

Do you need a simple or a complex CMS?

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 7-Jul-2010

I sometimes warn that a vendor's content management system is well suited to "simple" scenarios, but not necessarily a good fit for "more complex" cases. That's a bit problematic: ... Continue Reading

SDL acquires XML editor Xopus

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 6-Jul-2010

After a long spending spree -- pretty much on anything XML -- SDL has now acquired small Dutch vendor Xopus ... Continue Reading

WordPress 3.0 released: Bzzzzz.

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 2-Jul-2010

Well, it was to be expected: after a long wait, WordPress 3.0 got released just when I was on a short holiday. (WordPress admins shouldn't be allowed to take holidays for that exact reason.) ... Continue Reading

Decoding Content Management jargon

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 1-Jul-2010

Now that we've built content management to reach into the clouds, have we been punished by a confusion of tongues? Sure, there are tangible differences between, say, a page-based or a component-based system. And some labels are rooted in their underlying technology. Still, there's a couple of archetypes we could at least attempt to label similarly ... Continue Reading
