What is the myth? The concept behind The CMS Myth is simple, really. Many organizations are rushing to adopt web content management systems. These systems are often viewed as a silver bullet that will solve all kinds of problems. But . . . front-line web pros speak of a fundamental disconnect in the promise of CMS vs. reality. . . 50% or more CMS projects “fail” in some way . . . Therein lays the central tenet of The CMS Myth: When it comes to web content management success, it’s not just about the technology. In reality, CMS success hinges on your plan, your people, and your process behind your web content management initiative.
