This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio, and she and our host Ian Truscott explore whether, in 2025, the term CMS (Content Management System) is still relevant to CMOs with all the other acronyms and buzzwords around content operations today.
Some talking points from this week:
With the advances in page builder solutions to deliver multi-channel and multi-language websites, do organizations need enterprise solutions?
What needs must enterprises have to justify an enterprise solution (like Adobe or Sitecore) versus a simpler solution?
Do organizations handle workflow and orchestration within the CMS?
Is Headless the natural successor to the content management principles of old?
As usual, when Ian and Cathy get together, they dive into their inner content geeks, and as always, we welcome your feedback.
Enjoy!
