I’m not going to lie about it, yes, my company is an EPiServer partner. But then again, if the product was crap I’d change to another one. So here’s my post:

CMS is dead! It is? You might wonder. Most companies are investing right now to get their website up to speed with a friendly CMS to support it. Totally true. But that doesn’t mean the CMS you’re using is a success.

As businesses invest their money into corporate sites, in time, their wish list grows on and on. What started out as a clean and simple CMS has become a monster with evermore redicoulous demands. Your’re stretching the product to its upper limits and still don’t get the job done.

Having just visited the EPiServer Summit this year gave me great insight into the product and made me wonder… is this still a CMS? It’s becoming more like a web-based business suite built on a CMS! Crap, they finally figured it out, we need things like this! The economy is cutting our budget and time and business demands are getting more similar every day. Maybe because everyone has a hard time keeping up with the latest things anyways, but it’s causing a lot of work that is kind of repetitive.

So is CMS dead? I don’t think so. So is CMS alive then? If you call this a CMS, then yes, it is. To me it’s something much better and worth investigating for every web builder that offers .NET based CMS systems.
