On the definition of “satisfaction” in Web Content Management systems (it’s complicated)

Dries Buytaert (creator of Drupal and CTO at Acquia) posted this tweet regarding the relationship between user experience and sentiment regarding Drupal: I replied that unlike what the graphic indicated, we actually saw similar results in our research at Sitecore, and that much of this echos what Tony Byrne saw Read more…

Things that are almost, but not quite, WCM: The extended family

When I wrote my post “Should “Web Content Management” even exist as a category anymore?” I got some feedback from Jake Wilund the Product Manager responsible for the Acquia Content Cloud offering in the works, asking if I should have included Content Marketing Platforms – which is astute, given that Read more…

Salesforce CMS now out of beta

First reported at TechTarget: “Salesforce CMS now generally available” the release coincided with the overall Salesforce Winter ’20 update. So what does this mean in practice, particularly for Sitecore customers, where they have had a “strategic partnership” with Salesforce for two years. First, this is not unexpected – the CMS Read more…

Should “Web Content Management” even exist as a category anymore?

One of the challenges facing customers and analysts (and vendors!) is the ever-changing definition of what a Web Content Management system even is. Tony Byrne has discussed this fragmentation in some detail. In particular, I like his characterization of “products” (which often do one thing well) vs. “platforms” (which often Read more…

The difference between “Customer Experience” and actual Customer Experience

Each and every day, my Twitter feed is filled with references to “Customer Experience” to the point that the term has somewhat lost all meaning. Articles like “Why Focus On Customer Experience?

“Missing parts of the experience of WP VIP as a full WCM”

After the announcement of Salesforce Ventures investing an astonishing $300 million in Automattic last week, I wrote extensively on the topic and in particular the impact on potential strategic partnership between Salesforce and Automattic, given that WCM is still a gap in their portfolio.

Some thoughts on Salesforce and Automattic

Well, the most exciting news in WCM in a while has dropped today, with the announcement that Salesforce Ventures is investing $300 million in Automattic (aka WordPress) for a valuation of $3 billion dollars.

Using schema.org as a starting point for (headless) WCM

(Alternatively, why are WCM systems – particularly headless ones – not embedding this stuff yesterday? Comments welcome!) First, a little background for those unfamiliar with schema.org.
