IBM's WCM Solution Is Better For Internal Rather Than External Web Site Initiatives

The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q3 2007

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

IBM Workplace Web Content Management (IBM WCM) 6.0 provides strong life-cycle management with full-featured retention management support. But the product is weak in some key features like multisite management, globalization and localization functionality, and content delivery to multiple channels such as email and wireless. IBM WCM is a good solution for organizations that already use IBM WebSphere Portal as an intranet solution and don't have persuasive content management needs. However, those organizations looking to empower their nontechnical users to create a persuasive content experience for site visitors would be better off pursuing other options.
