Why the finances of software vendors matter

January 24th, 2010 by Janus Boye
4 Comments| , , , , , , , ,

I’ve regularly covered annual reports, earnings announcements and other financial news about software vendors. These commentaries tend to stir debate and I am frequently asked why I bother to look behind the numbers. Is it really important?
Many vendors, in particular privately-held US-based ones, don’t publicly release audited numbers. Instead they carefully select a few positive …

Who should be on your CMS shortlist?

Selecting the right CMS is not an easy task with; there is in excess of 1,000 vendors in the very dynamic CMS marketplace. Unfortunately industry analysts tend to evaluate too many vendors for the needs of most buyers. Consider CMS Watch which has 42 systems in their Web CMS Report and Gartner with 18 …

Don’t buy licenses from your system integrator

May 20th, 2009 by Janus Boye

This week I’ve talked to several members in our community of practice who were all of the impression that CMS licenses can only be bought from system integrators. This is undoubtedly in the interest of your system integrator, but for the vendors I cover, you can buy the software directly from the vendor as well. …

Smart practitioners have harmless URLs

8 Comments| , , , , , , ,

I’m not that technical, but I’m frustrated that the problem with harmful URLs doesn’t seem to want to go away. Microsoft’s very own Jon Udell started 2008 with a very well written comment on .aspx considered harmful, but .aspx is still the standard default used in most SharePoint 2007-driven public websites. Over at CMS Watch, …

Swedish CMS-vendor EPiServer keeps growing – still without setting foot in the US

November 11th, 2008 by Janus Boye
1 Comment| , , ,

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. Quite unlike local competitor Sitecore, which have built …

Congrats to the Sitecore team who won the prestigious Web Idol competition in Aarhus at the jboye08 conference last week and took home the enormous trophy, which is already prominently featured on their website. Sitecore participated back in 2006, when Norwegian eZ won, and then did not participate in 2007, when eZ won yet again.
