Quirky CMS Review by Jon Marks -- "Celebrity CMS Deathmatch"

Heres a link to a quirky analysis on "CMS" solutions. The truth is, you probably could put ANY kind of software product on this matrix and ask the same questions, since quite frankly some of these products bear no resemblance other than the vendors call them either WCMS or CMS or ECM 'solutions.'

Thumbs up on Jon's study, it feels a little to CMS/ECM as Jon Stewart is to real news (actually, some of his news is more incisive than the real stuff). However, buyer beware -- I have no idea what his actual methodology is or even how he happened upon this list of products. All I can say is this will be a mildly amusing and interesting take on vendor and product competency -- some of the 'softer' things that you'll need to look at when making your platform decision.

CMS Vendor Meme / CMS Celebrity Deathmatch

Submitted by Jon Marks (not verified) on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 05:26.

Hi Joseph, Glad you liked it. Being a Jon Stewart to ECM/CMS would be awesome. Now there is something to aspire to. Re: The methodology/list/science, there is a quite a bit story behind it. It was started by a CMS Watch article by Kas Thomas followed by a challenge from CMS Vendor Day. My posting is actually in 3 parts, and you only read part three. Clearly I haven't laid my blog out very well. But if you read the first two, things will make (slightly!) more sense. I hope. Alternatively, Google "CMS Vendor Meme" and you'll find quite a lot of stuff. Again, thanks for the link. Jon
