Acquia Named a Leader in Web Content Management Systems
With all the competing noise in the web content management space, making the right decision for your business can be tough. Getting an independent viewpoint is an important part of the process. Find out the 15 most significant vendors across 26 different criteria here.
According to Forrester, Acquia received the highest score in the strategy category among all vendors. On a one-to-five scale, Acquia also scored "5's" in eight of 26 criteria: global governance, performance, permissions and compliance, deployment and configuration, vision, cloud, service partner program, developer program, and product customer count.[1]
According to the report, “As traditional web CMS technology becomes outdated and less effective, improved content analytics, APIs, and cross-channel delivery dictate which providers lead the pack. Vendors that can provide flexible content architecture, smarter content management, and flexible cross-channel delivery position themselves to successfully support their organization’s experience-led transformation.”[1] In their vendor profile, the report states that Acquia “streamlines and embraces headless, with better practitioner tools on the way.”
“We believe Forrester’s findings prove the strategic importance of WCM solutions that empower brands to embrace open platforms and APIs, decoupled and headless architectures, advanced analytics, multisite management, and omnichannel delivery,” said Michael Sullivan, Acquia CEO. “We believe this report affirms our commitment to our partners and customers, particularly in how we support their most ambitious initiatives with winning strategies for the web and a vision for how cloud technologies can unlock innovation.”
According to the Forrester Research report, “Acquia’s standout strengths are deployment “pipelines” tooling for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) and overall performance and scalability. Additionally, Acquia’s decoupled approach, including Node.js hosting, enables Cloud Site Factory to drive single-page application (SPA) front-end frameworks.”[1]
