In today’s competitive business environment, delivering dynamic experiences across multiple digital channels is becoming increasingly important. In the past, a traditional monolithic CMS was the go-to solution for managing website content in bulk, offering a comprehensive approach with integrated front-end and back-end functionalities.

However, as the importance of web channels for media distribution grew, developers within larger enterprises recognized the limitations of monolithic solutions in managing complex, structured content or delivering unique frontend capabilities. This led to the rise of custom, internal CMS solutions. Performance and extensive customization were possible but at huge engineering costs and time pressure to plan, develop, and uphold these systems.

We live in a content economy. There are an estimated 200 million creators on the internet, and upwards of four billion social media users. If organizations want to tap into this burgeoning economy -- set to be worth over $24bn in the next four years -- they must expand their capabilities beyond serving customers basic text and images.

Consumers want connected digital experiences that draw from multiple content sources. However, many organizations risk being held back by their current CMS, as customization and integration challenges slow the creation of new or complex digital services at scale. The result?

If organizations are to unlock full value from content, an alternative approach is needed. Enter content federation.
