Headless CMS Industry News

Contentstack announced that it has expanded its partnership with SAP to support the newly launched SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory. With the Extension Factory, businesses can create cloud-native extensions for the Intelligent Enterprise. As an API-first content management system (CMS), Contentstack can now integrate with SAP cloud products.

Contentstack recently announced new artificial intelligence capabilities developed to impact how marketers gain insights, make decisions and improve outcomes by bringing AI directly into the content management system platform.

Many headless CMS providers are labeling themselves as JAMstack-ready. But what exactly does that mean? As ever, we turn to leading industry experts and practitioners to help us familiarize what a JAMstack-ready CMS is.

Contentstack, an integrations framework to create digital experiences, announced the release of Experience Extensions marks a turning point for Content Management System (CMS) customers.

WordPress is currently powering 30 percent of websites. It’s an impressive statistic, yet it's one that's often cast aside by larger companies — and for good reason.

Contentstack is pretty successful in its own right, though, with customers ranging from the Miami Heat to Cisco and Best Buy. Because of this, Built.io decided to spin out the service into its own business at the beginning of this year, and now it’s doubling down on serving modern enterprises that want to bring their CMS strategy into the 21st century.

Digital content has come a long way since the earliest websites. But it’s been a constant battle to reconcile the demands of content creators with the limitations of the underlying technology.

The Accelerator is a six-week program that combines the efforts of Built.io’s Digital Fan Experience Platform and BeyondCurious’ CatalystGo service, promising to provide “immediate value and impact to participants through actionable insights, design concepts, prototypes and demos.”

According to Sporttechie.com, sports clubs can use an application development platform to build a mobile or web app, while a content management product will separate content from code.

AI, VR, and AR are possible with the newest platform for sports brands. The Miami Heat and the Sacramento Kings are already using customized versions of the platform.

Now, sports franchises around the world have access to the same award-winning platform from Built.io that helped NBA teams like the Sacramento Kings become Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Company in Sports,” and the Miami HEAT future-proof its physical and digital technology investments.

Driven by RESTful APIs, a headless content management system (CMS) can run in parallel with traditional web content management systems (WCMSes) to deliver content to users who are leaving the desktop behind in favor of mobile-devices.

The whole CMS industry is facing a huge change, whether we like it or not. Today, the industry is still in the denial phase of the change as traditional vendors are caught unprepared.

First things first, what is a headless CMS? It is an approach rather than a technology. At a very simplistic level, conventional content management systems are rigid when it comes to adding new delivery formats, like a mobile app or web-based applications, developed outside of the CMS platform into the website as these platforms take care of the entire web experience.

Contentstack is getting a major update today with the launch of a set of mobile SDKs for Android and iOS, as well as a refreshed interface for both developers and content editors.

Originally, Contentstack was made available to customers as requested, but new features have warranted the product being made available more generally, explains COO Matthew Baier.
