Like many buzzwords that take the IT industry by storm, 'Content Management' is currently one of 'the' hot topics. Guesstimates made by research organisations have decreed the global CMS market value to be worth billions of USD of revenue! Yet until recently, the CMS industry was dominated by names that no-one had ever heard of. With a surge of acquisitions, the names that we would typically associate with IT have come forward to assume a market position by buying up companies that were already successful in niche sectors of content management, or by merging with organisations that compliment their own product offerings.
