CMS Watch publishes the Web CMS Report 2008—analysis of products from thirty vendors

Web CMS report graphicCONTENT TECHNOLOGY analysts CMS Watch have recently published the 2008 edition of their highly-regarded Web CMS Report, the 14th edition of the publication. It provides a comprehensive overview of web content management products and best practices, including updated, 10- to 20-page comparative surveys of 30 Web CMS packages (24 in the Standard Edition), as well as short descriptions of 15 other products across 7 vendor categories. Special European Standard and European Enterprise Editions cover major vendors in that region as well as international players.

What's inside

Researched by the same CMS Watch team that has been providing buyers with independent advice for more than six years, the report offers an analytically and visually rich primer with:

  • 115 descriptive charts
  • More than 175 product screens
  • 15 custom diagrams and illustrations, and a
  • 30-term glossary

The Report comes in five editions: Standard, Enterprise, European Standard, European Enterprise, and a Combined edition. The Enterprise edition covers special issues related to designing and implementing enterprise-level web content management projects, and reviews 6 enterprise-level Web CMS vendors—EMC Documentum, IBM, Interwoven, Open Text/RedDot, Oracle/Stellent, and Vignette. The European edition covers all the major international providers from the Enterprise edition, as well as several vendors specific to the European market.

The report is ideal for organisations looking to develop a business-driven content management strategy, or who are considering selecting a CMS product and need unbiased technical assessments, or who simply need a clearly-written guide to this confusing, fast-changing landscape.

The Report’s full table of contents can be viewed on the CMS Watch website. A free sample extract from the report can also be obtained from the CMS Watch website but you will need to register to get access to this.
