The Next Generation Of Web Content Management: What To Expect And Which Features Really Matter. If you’re choosing a new WCM , you may wish you had a crystal ball that can tell you what to look for and how the industry will change over the next few years. This story will explore that topic, including which features will be important and which ones will fade away, and what to expect from the next generation of WCM tools.
Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to for this story. I prefer to conduct an email interview (whereby you send me written answers to my questions below that I can use as quotes in my story, which is often easier and ensures no accidental misquoting), although I can likely accommodate a phone interview if you prefer. My deadline is noon central, Wednesday, August 5. Please e-mail me back your interest and availability or your typed up answers to these questions:
