At a nice dinner in Geneva yesterday, a local customer pointed out that the most visited websites in the world do not use any of the “usual suspects” among the CMS vendors. Mediawiki is the open source engine behind Wikipedia, while Blogger and WordPress are popular blogging platforms. Among the top 30 sites today, the …

I’ve been tracking Swedish CMS vendor EPiServer since late 2005. Many milestones later the company has now expanded far outside beyond its home shores, but unlike other ambitious and growing vendors, they have so far resisted the usual European temptation to attempt venturing into the US market.

Catching up from a busy week, I’m going through a stack of newspapers and too many unread posts in Google Reader.

In a distant past (1999 – 2002) I worked at a CMS vendor. In those 3 years I travelled around Europe and experienced a few customers with projects that did not end up meeting expectations and consequently sooner or later they decided to change CMS (again). After a short stint in a different market (content …

In these interesting times with a crisis in finance as the New York Times puts it, many of our members are either forced or strongly encouraged to look at ways to cut intranet spending. I want to take this discussion a step further: It may indeed be helpful for some to look at the intranet …
