"The Future of Content Management"

23 November the CM Pros Benelux Summit gathered around 25 attendants to discuss the future of content management.

CMPros Benelux :: Benelux Summit

Major keywords where:

• Tridion: Globalization, Specific Markets, Different Channels.
• MediaSurface: CMS will be on 98% of the desktops like spreadsheets are now.
• Q42: Content and presentation need to be stricktly seperated.
• Hippo: The world is already loaded with content, re-use is only possible when tagging is used and generic API's allow to connect different content repositories.

My conclusion:

• Content needs to be broken down into the real content and tagged in its context
• Portlets and repositories need to be stricktly seperated (Content and Presentation separated)
• A generic API on top of the repository guarantees the future of a Content Management System
• Usage of an API like the JSR-170/283 and/or iECM is an absolute need for (E)CM suppliers to survive in the (near) future
• Only when suggestions above are used we are ready for Content Grids (very 2.0 ;)
