  • Intelligent process automation software that automates repeatable, operational decisions within business process sets in response to events where analytics drives the workflow.

Information access encompasses markets for business intelligence, data warehousing, data integration, search and discovery, and content management (including enterprise content management, web content management (WCM), records management, and digital asset management) software. IDC recognized FatWire based on its advanced WCM solutions, including its core FatWire Content Server offering.

Ektron, FatWire, ocPortal and Sitecore added to CMS Report's top 30 list

During the past few weeks, I have been quietly updating CMS Report's CMS Focus page. CMS Focus is a list of the top 30 Web applications representing what I see as the Web applications of today and tomorrow which interest me the most. In a world where niche CMS news sites try to cover it all for their readers, I feel one of the strengths of CMSReport.com is limiting our focus on a certain number of CMS. The CMS on this list are applications I recommend site owners first look at before moving into the deeper waters of content management and social software.

Recently added to this list of content management systems are Ektron, FatWire, ocPortal, and Sitecore. The new additions are heavily weighted toward enterprise content management systems and are a reflection of my shifting focus from Web CMS for the Internet to those applications that run on an organization's intranet. Don't worry though, I still plan on talking about some of our favorite Web CMS such as Drupal, Joomla!, mojoPortal, and SilverStripe as I'm broadening not limiting my interests.

I bumped five CMS off the list and placed them into the "Hall of Fame". Those CMS no longer being listed under CMS Focus include SMF, OpenEdit, eGroupWare, e107, and dotCMS.

Website personalization and optimization are critical capabilities for organizations to effectively and efficiently compete for customers today.  Website personalization based on customer segmentation enables marketers to create a web experience that is automatically tailored and specifically relevant to each site visitor.  Web content analytics enables marketers to measure and optimize the content they offer to each customer segment. With these capabilities, companies can engage customers and prospects with targeted information, improving customer loyalty, and driving sales and repeat visitors.

FatWire Engage is a sophisticated rules engine for creating customer segments as well as assigning targeted content and promotions to be delivered online to each segment. Visitors to FatWire-powered websites are automatically identified as part of a segment based on either known information about the user, their behavior on the website, or a combination of the two.  Marketers can create extensive online campaigns that are precisely targeted for visitors based on membership in multiple overlapping segments. With this new release, FatWire Engage now delivers up to two billion targeted page views per month in conjunction with Content Server with a single install of the FatWire Engage solution.
