A Fair Review of the Top Mid-Market CMS for 2020

Today’s web content management systems — also known as CMS or WCM — offer much more than website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools. A modern Web CMS touches almost every department from sales and marketing, human resources, all the way to administration. A CMS empowers your organization with the ability to create and maintain powerful, personalized customer experiences, yet, 42% of companies polled indicated they still don’t have the right technology to manage their content.

5 Network Performance Monitoring Vendors to Watch in 2020

As 2020 is now in full swing, we can look back on the previous year and see how its developments will impact the future. In 2019, we saw several vendors introduce advanced capabilities and expand their business beyond simple network monitoring. There were also some key acquisitions and buyouts that (we expect) will give small-scale network monitoring providers the resources to build themselves up into powerhouses in the industry. When thinking of what 2020 will bring for network monitoring vendors and solutions, it helps to watch the companies who are expected to deliver many innovations throughout the year.

Yet, when we refer to statistics, it is usually related to the failure rates. According to CB Insights, 70% of newly founded companies fail 20 months after first raising financing, with the main reason being “no market need.” Startups are increasingly trying to gain market share and disrupt established leaders. At the same time, the number of new products that actually solve a problem somebody cares about enough to pay for is too low.

Why the CMS Can Make or Break Your Digital Success

For businesses today, providing an engaging customer experience across all digital touchpoints is paramount to success. From a marketing perspective, it is crucial that content is distributed across all available devices that customers are likely to use, including websites for laptops, tablets, and mobiles, as well as content for other devices, such as wearables.

10 Things You Never Knew You Could Do with a CMS

Since the first “modern” content management system (CMS) reared its head around 2005, businesses of all shapes and sizes turned away from manually coding websites and towards the modern age of CMS.  This transformation empowered marketing teams throughout the business world to push the limits to what the “interwebs” could really do.  Emboldened by agility, faster time to market, dynamically generated pages, and more control over the customer journey, marketers are constantly seeking new, unique features they can leverage from today’s CMS to propel them into the next era.

Here’s Why 8.5 Million Users Love Visual Studio Code, the Free Software That’s Helping Microsoft Win Over Programmers in the Cloud Wars with Amazon

For a long time, Microsoft had the reputation for being unfriendly to developers.

After all, Microsoft infamously spent much of the '90s and '00s battling with the open source community — the free and remixable software that they were creating posed an existential threat to Windows and other Microsoft products. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer even infamously called the open source operating system Linux "a cancer."
