Spot The Difference – The 2010 CMS Watch Vendor Map
Here’s to Cisco an’ Sonny an’ Leadbelly too,
An’ to all the good people that traveled with you.
Here’s to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind.
- SONG TO WOODY
As everyone knows, I think the CMS Watch Content Techonology Vendor Map is awesome. They’ve just released the 2010 version. As far as I can tell, the main differences between this and the 2009 version are shown below:
Get the high res version from the CMS Watch site.
So, what’s changed? Firstly, the big mergers and acquisitions:
- Adobe decided to buy Omniture for reasons I haven’t figured out yet. It’s made the map more topologically tricky.
- OpenText has gobbled up Vignette, removing another of the big dots
- Oracle has bought SUN, which hasn’t changed much since Oracle had a few of everything already.
- JBoss and eXo have merged Portal platforms
- ClearStory is now The FeedRoom, who have been recently acquired by KIT digital.
New Kids On The Map:
- Vyre isn’t new, but it’s now recognised as a DAM product too. This was discussed last time. OpenCms has made the WCM big time, along with Hannon Hill, Telerik and Omniupdate.
- Mark Logic storms onto the XML Component Management line after creating quite a buzz in the last few months. Quark is on there too, Revolutionizing Publishing. Again.
- Cisco’s new tools get them onto the Social and Collab line. It’s busy there though – they’re joined by Salesforce (the Daddy), Yammer (like Twitter for the Enterprise), MindTouch (Open Source Enterprise Networking Platform) and KickApps (another community builder).
- Three ECM platforms I know nothing about: Fabasoft, DocuWare and Objective.
And finally:
- FaceBook has gone. Maybe not enterprise enough. Which is probably why Twitter isn’t on either.
- Poor EPiServer still hasn’t made it onto the SoCo line, even though they’ve got a very mature Community product
- SAP still isn’t considered a CMS, which is fine by me.
So that’s that. A 300 page report costs about the same as an overpaid consultant researching badly for a couple of days to prepare that disappointing Google-fleeced document you were embarrassed to show your boss. It’s a no brainer. Buy the reports. All of them. They rock.
Great goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you are simply too wonderful. I really like what you’ve acquired here, certainly like what you’re stating and the way in which you say it. You are making it entertaining and you still take care of to keep it wise.
