Content Management Matters ™

And the award for 'Earliest Awards Giveaway 2008' goes to... InfoWorld, which has already announced 2008's Technology of the Year winners. Oracle and Tridion are the big winners in the content management space, picking up the Enterprise CMS and Web CMS gongs respectively.

SDL Tridion, a provider of web content management solutions, has launched the newest version of its flagship product, R5.3.

This new version provides improvements to business, system and collaboration processes, along with a new approach to templating.

Web technology company Amaze has just been tapped by the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency to provide a shared-service content management system for the capital.

Amaze has selected global web CMS purveyor SDL Tridion to do the job.

Recently acquired Tridion, the self-proclaimed global leader in web content management (WCM) software solutions, is making available a new web archiving tool designed to help customers better manage their web content lifecycle.

UK-based SDL International, a leading provider of Global Information Management (GIM) solutions, has solidified an agreement with Tridion, a leading provider of enterprise Web CMS solutions. The EU€ 69 million agreement awaits shareholder approval but is expected to augment the breadth and offerings of SDL's info management solutions significantly.

Though home to many vendors, the European CMS marketplace is in many ways still up for grabs.

And if you EU types would care to see some of these vendors go several rounds in the ring. Get on over to Denmark for the 2nd International Content Management Forum (cmf2006). The Danish CM event kicks-off Nov. 7th and runs through the 9th.

Choices, choices, choices... but no big players yet. That's the message for European CMS technology buyers, according to the European edition of the CMS Report by CMS Watch, released today. "Standard", and "Enterprise" -- for large multi-site projects -- editions are available.
