So what‘s the use case?
WCM is not a suite story,
it is an integration story
“There will always be a need for Web CMS," the analysts said. "But over time,
there is going to be a much bigger need for enterprise-grade process-driven
products that leverage digital asset management, personalization, e-commerce and
BPM — situations in which WCM is simply a mechanism for exposing content."
