Franken-CMS

"What if you could graft the best features and attributes of individual Web content management packages into one single, ideal offering?" asks CMS Watch's Tony Byrne. The answer is explained in The Ideal CMS -- 2002.

The result?

So you can see that my ideal Web content management “Supergroup,” circa 2002, would require me to integrate components or attributes from no less than 15 different companies across the 21 categories.

What does this mean? No one product is the perfect solution. As Byrne mentions, CMS implementations are very specific to an organization. Still, its hard to find a good system to build on.
