dotCMS Continues Transformation, Strengthens Position as an Enterprise Hybrid CMS

MIAMI, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- dotCMS, a leading open source Java CMS, has "progressed beyond the level of a headless CMS," in light of the launch of dotCMS 5.0.

To accompany dotCMS's API-first approach, which has enabled dotCMS clients to launch Alexa Skills and omnichannel customer experiences, dotCMS 5.0 introduced a slew of drag-and-drop features, including a page editor, layout editor, workflow builder, and content type builder.

With these new marketer-friendly features, dotCMS 5.0 provides the flexibility of a headless CMS regarding omnichannel content delivery — without sacrificing the content authoring experience.

"dotCMS has progressed beyond the level of a headless CMS by giving marketers and business people the freedom to create and publish content quickly and easily. Yet, dotCMS remains an API-first, best-of-breed solution that prevents vendor lock-in and unshackles brands by allowing them to integrate with any third-party tool on the market," said Will Ezell, CTO of dotCMS.

"A Hybrid CMS — which is what we feel best describes dotCMS — combines the best of a headless CMS and a suite solution, without actually being either," explained Ezell. "As a true Hybrid CMS, dotCMS takes into consideration content delivery and content publishing, with the ability to operate head-optional or decoupled architecture as well as with publishing options including static, dynamic, and single-to-multi."

The label of Hybrid CMS perfectly captures the new and improved dotCMS offering, as it encompasses the five ways that dotCMS surpasses other headless CMS:

• Headless Content Management Without Compromise: Unlike a pure headless CMS, dotCMS doesn't compromise its industry-leading content authoring experience. Instead, dotCMS' decoupled architecture serves both technical and business users by separating its headless content management layer from its tried-and-tested content authoring experience.
• IoT-ready APIs: As part of its Content as Infrastructure philosophy, dotCMS provides robust RESTful APIs that exceed competitor capabilities. Further to seamless third-party integrations and written content delivery, dotCMS APIs can deliver all forms of content, in any format, enabling brands to innovate and thrive in the IoT era.
• Container-ready: dotCMS users can quickly and easily leverage containerization tools such as Docker4 and Kubernetes to deploy microservices, enable cost-efficient DevOps, and optimize infrastructure.
• Open Source: Open source software gives every dotCMS user the freedom to innovate and troubleshoot without restrictions.
• Lightweight: As a hybrid CMS, dotCMS acts as an underlying technology that is robust and supportive of enterprise-grade platforms, without burdening brands with an entire data center or over-the-top infrastructure.
• High-performance: dotCMS has been honing its code for fifteen years. Today, the platform is made up of lean code and containerized microservices, both of which help to ensure cutting-edge performance for dotCMS' enterprise clients.
