Of late, many WCM as well as Portal vendors are touting their capabilities for more closely aligning content management and presentation management. Frankly, I wonder what took them so long. After all, what good is content if it cannot be delivered and consumed? In my opinion ... Continue Reading

You may be getting pressure to join a particular tool's bandwagon. This year it could be Drupal, Sitecore, Jive, or Liferay. Next year it will certainly be a different set of names. Our industry is nothing if not faddish. When faced with the bandwagon effect, I encourage you to pause and consider all the angles ... Continue Reading

One of the theoretical advantages of Java-based Portals and Content Management applications is the ability to cluster servers for better performance. But the reality is that clustering is a black art that few vendors and implementation teams really ever seem to master adequately. So it comes as a (welcome) surprise to learn of an open-source technology that delivers many (if not most) of the things customers want here, but in surprisingly quick, painless fashion, at low cost, with no need to recompile code or stay up nights learning about disturbing-sounding concepts like "STONITH" (shoot the other node in the head). ...

"There is really no comparison between the level of detail and insight I find in the Real Story Group publications and other resources. Why is The Web CMS Research so good? First, Real Story Group avoids fads and takes a very measured, grounded analysis of changes going on in the web marketplace. Second, Real Story Group evaluates solutions holistically, looking at more than the software itself and considering the vendor's business viability. Third, Real Story Group can't be beat for having a conceptual grasp of what is really important in these products, and how they actually get deployed, from small implementations to enterprise scale. It's this thorough, totally grounded perspective that makes Real Story Group research an indispensable tool in my business."
