How to Select a Web Content Management System (WCMS)

Most large organizations need a Web Content Management System (WCMS). Regardless of the technical abilities of a company's in-house teams, gone are the days where having a static HTML website is good enough. Content has to be updated regularly, quickly and it has to be cost effective. Any half decent modern WCMS provides more than just a platform for changing text and images. Whilst that is still important it is also about managing blogs, news systems, RSS feeds, wikis, forums, user generated content (UGC), SEO, multi-language support, ecommerce, data capture, interfacing with real-time Web 2.0 data streams and integration with existing bespoke or 3rd party business tools (to name but a few).
