Challenges with traditional CMS are numerous: inflexible editing, insecure backend, and limitations in its capabilities when publishing content on various channels. We have been working with Headless CMS for years now – believing it to be the best full-scale solution on the market.
No wonder companies struggle with Traditional CMS: It’s generic, outdated, a threat to digital security, and overly complicated for editors to work with. Hence producing high costs around the editing and maintenance of websites and social media channels. Mark Grannan (Senior Analyst at Forrester) calls it right by saying the “classic era of Web CMS is closing“.
Headless CMS solves these challenges by separating the content management and presentation layers, making inflexible components dynamic. This serves target groups expectations for individualization. “Modern businesses must provide optimal digital experiences across a growing variety of channels. This multi-experience strategy requires hybrid headless content as a service“, as Gartner states.
