The Future is in Delivery

The Point
There is a difference between content
management and content delivery
Content MANAGEMENT is something of a
solved problem; we‟re rapidly entering the
“post-management era”
The most significant industry trend right
now is the push into DELIVERY
Content Management is Dead
J. Boye is not a content
management conference.
The Big Umbrella
                Content Management
                                              Metadata
Versioning           Permissions
                                                                 Languages

       Production                              Templating
                         Workflow


             Audit                 Modeling              Authentication


  Archiving          Taxonomy             Retention             Collaboration
The Content Lifecycle
             Publish




  Content              Content
Management             Delivery
Most of the new development in
the past 2-3 years has been in
            delivery
A/B Testing
Campaign Management and
       Integration
User-generated Content
Multi-Channel Delivery
Visitor Segmentation

The Common Theme:
      All of these things happen after
                 publication.

“Launch day is not the finish line,
      but rather is the starting line.”

Management is the Training
       Montage
Delivery is the Main Event
Could content MANAGEMENT
    be a solved problem?
Could MANAGEMENT become a
        commodity?
Will the real market differentiator
      of the future be content
            DELIVERY?
Are we entering the “POST-
MANAGEMENT” era of content
       management?
Do we really work in the field
  of content DELIVERY?
“Content management is largely
     a solved problem. Almost all of
       the advances in the field are
             happening in the
        delivery/marketing space.”



5/28/2012                              26
All seven agreed.




5/28/2012                       27
“Development on our repository is strictly to
 support our delivery services.”

 “The majority of our development effort is
 focused outside our core management
 product.”

 “Content management was commoditized as
 soon as open-source solutions reached
 sufficient competency at a no-cost price point.”

 “The focus on the management side is now on
 strictly reducing implementation costs.”

5/28/2012                                        28
“The „money shot‟ of a content management
    solution is no longer „here‟s how you edit a
    page of content.‟”

    “…how many different ways can you demo
    core content management?”

    “We build our product 100% for marketers.
    The idea of a „content editor‟ is an antiquated
    notion.”



5/28/2012            Presenter: Florian Röllig   SLIDE 29
CMS sales demos are more likely
 to start with delivery features,
    rather than management
             features.
"The Future is in Delivery" by Deane Barker, JBoye12
In many commercial products,
      the delivery tier licenses for 2-3
         times the management tier.




5/28/2012                              SLIDE 32
Content delivery features are
increasingly going to drive CMS
             sales.
Inversion of Sales Focus



                      ??
Inversion of Sales Focus



??
The delivery tier is becoming a
framework that binds content at
          request time.
Standardization of APIs will
drive delivery technologies.
“Web Experience
Management is a
redefinition or evolution
of Web Content
Management. Where
WCM provides the
foundation for
collaboration by
offering users the
ability to manage
content, WEM
emphasizes the
importance of the
delivery of the
aggregated content
into a total Web
Experience.”
                       38
A CMS vendor may spin off their
management suite and provide
   interoperability with other
           systems.
Why?
The current state of content
MANAGEMENT provides very
 little room for differentiation.
The Rise of Content Strategy
The Rise of Content Strategy
    More thought is going into the production of
    content – what happens before publish.

    This thought process is bleeding over into
    what happens after publish.

    When thought is put into how content must
    perform before it is created, inevitably
    structures will arise to ensure or document
    this performance after it is published.

5/28/2012                                          43
The catch?
For once, customers are playing
    catch-up to the vendors.
The Marketing Technologist
The Marketing Technologist
                        “A talent gap is growing
                        between the skills that
                        many new advertising jobs
                        require and the number of
                        people who have those
                        skills. The dilemma, […] is
                        particularly acute for jobs
                        that require hard-core
                        quantitative, mathematical
                        and technical skills.”




5/28/2012                                         47
The Marketing Technologist
                “The U.S. alone faces a
                shortage of 140,000 to
                190,000 people with deep
                analytical skills as well as
                1.5 million managers and
                analysts to analyze big data
                and make decisions based
                on their findings.”
The Sad Truth:
       Very few CMS customers have
       the skills to exploit the current
       wave of delivery technologies.




5/28/2012                                  50
Core Belief:
    Content serves no purpose other
     than that of a marketing tool. If
       content doesn‟t perform, it
             shouldn‟t exist.
