“Surprise, Yankees! European Vendor Leads the Pack for External Sites,” Says Independent Research Firm
Tridion “receives high marks all round” in new research report
21 April 2005 – Tridion, the recognised European leader in content management solutions, today announced that Forrester Research has positioned Tridion as a leader in Web Content Management (WCM) for external sites in Forrester’s Wave: Web Content Management Q1 2005. Forrester assessed nine WCM vendors based on hands-on lab evaluations and 194 criteria in the areas of current offering, product strategy and market presence.
The new report, which can be viewed on www.tridion.com, shows that Europe now leads the pack for external WCM – a market normally dominated by American technology firms. Forrester found Tridion to be a “leader” in web content management for external sites (both Internet and extranet) and a “strong performer” for internal (intranet) web content management. According to the research firm’s report, “…[IT teams] require a solution that site managers and power users within the organisation can use to define and manage their own sites…”. Tridion differentiates itself from its competitors with strong multisite management capabilities and comprehensive site and content personalisation functionality.
In the report, Kyle McNabb, senior analyst at Forrester Research states: “Tridion receives high marks all round including strong content management application usability… Its strong content management application support for content contributors and business users helps it differentiate from other players [in the WCM space]”. According to Forrester, “Tridion’s product strategy is focused on advancing their WCM capabilities to address line of business needs.”
