SDL Tridion and Sitecore CMS - so close yet so far away...

Added By Irina Guseva on 6-Sep-2011

Watch What WCM Customers Do, Not What Vendors Say

Added By Tony Byrne on 17-May-2011

In the 15 years I've been working with Web CMS technology, there's always been a gap between what vendors say their tools can do, and what customers actually accomplish with those tools. Upon the 20th edition release of our Web Content Management vendor evaluations, it's become clear that this gap has never been wider ... Continue Reading

From WCM to WEM and CEM - a change of heart?

Added By Irina Guseva on 27-Apr-2011

Those of you under the impression that Web Engagement Management (WEM) and Customer Experience Management (CEM) are mere buzzwords may want to pause and observe. I am not saying that I am in favor of creating more acronyms ... Continue Reading

Can your vendor be too successful?

Added By Tony Byrne on 10-Dec-2010

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

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

Performance is a requirement, too

Added By Kas Thomas on 20-Jan-2010

Performance testing is a notoriously difficult undertaking. So much so, in fact, that it is sometimes not done at all, or only done when a performance problem arises in production, making some sort of investigation unavoidable ... Continue Reading

SDL moving into targeted marketing and e-commerce

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 18-Jan-2010

For those vendors with solid profits, it's a buyer's market. SDL, parent company of such products as Tridion, Trados, Trisoft, and XySoft, announced the acquisition of Dutch e-commerce vendor Fredhopper today. ... Continue Reading

Are we reaching the limits of UI buildout?

Added By Kas Thomas on 28-Jul-2009
