Share Button

** NOTE: TeamSite product is now owned by OpenText and the information below is dated **

On Nov 10, 2011 and again in 2012, 2013 and 2014, Gartner released it’s annual “Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management“. As seen in the quadrant, HP Autonomy product stack is a clear leader. In this post we  take each fundamental WCM feature that Gartner puts forth and discuss it from an HP Autonomy Product stack’s implementation perspective.

Gartner’s comments are in italics and bold. Read on, and feel free to provide your comments below.

Adobe AEM (CQ5) and OpenText TeamSite: 10 things in common

Share Button

Among  enterprise-class web experience management systems, the two most sophisticated systems that are often pitted against each other are HP TeamSite and Adobe Experience Manager. Both Forrester and Gartner rank these products highly and often place them as leaders in the digital experience (aka content marketing/ web experience management/digital engagement/ customer experience management) space.

Technologically, at their core, the products are very different. A developer may cringe to read “similar” and these product names in the same sentence. However, we are going to look at it from the perspective of a business user – a marketer who potentially uses this system versus a technical administrator or developer.

At autowoven we have seen our share of new TeamSite implementations as well as migration / upgrade projects.  While there are quite a few reasons why migration projects could fail. Here are the top 5 reasons.

7 considerations for your TeamSite Upgrade

Share Button

There could be multiple business reasons to consider when you upgrade your enterprise content management system based on HP TeamSite. However, the following 7 technical factors should not be ignored.

1. Consider “modernizing” your website, not just your Content Management System. If your website front-end (HTML/CSS/JS) has been built more than 3 years ago, it is probably not using HTML5. It is probably not using CSS3 and more likely than not, it is not using one of the latest Javascript frameworks. What do the new front-end development tools provide that your old-site does not have? Think, Responsive Design. Think Cross-Browser compatibility. Think Customer Experience.

There’s an informative article by Michael Kriggsman on ZDNet titled “Do our customers love us?” It talks about how customers crave for solutions and not just features. Michael writes:

“Adopting an outcomes-based perspective in enterprise software requires the vendor to develop a detailed understanding of customer aspirations and pain points across the entire buying and usage cycle.”

HP Customers we talk to are overall pretty happy  with the “enterprise” features offered by the product stack, but like with every solution, they would like to see improvements. Based on feedback we received, we have compiled  a short list of pain points that we would like HP as a product vendor to solve.

And here’s the wish list for 2014:
