CMS Enterprise – who is it for?

Published
Michał Łukawski, 10. September 2024

Managing online content is the foundation of any effective digital strategy. A CMS (Content Management System) is a tool that makes it easy and efficient to create, edit and publish content on websites. A CMS gives us complete control over our online presence, regardless of the size of our organisation.

The enterprise CMS is distinguished not only by its greater scalability, but also by its ability to integrate with other systems and ensure the highest level of security.

However, when it comes to large organisations with advanced needs, standard CMS solutions may not be enough. This is where Enterprise CMS comes in – an advanced content management system designed with complex structures and unique requirements in mind. Not only does it offer greater scalability, but it also integrates with other systems and offers the highest levels of security.

In this article, we will explore who Enterprise CMS is for, what problems it helps to solve, and why it can be an essential choice for larger organisations looking to optimise their content management processes on a large scale.

When should you consider implementing an Enterprise CMS and how does it differ from standard solutions?

1. Is scalability important to your business?

If your organisation manages multiple websites in different languages and regions, scalability is a critical factor. An enterprise CMS offers multichannel support, enabling effective content management across multiple platforms simultaneously – from websites to mobile applications and social media. This makes it easy to scale your operations as your business grows.

2. Does your organisation have a complex structure?

For organisations with a complex organisational structure that require tools to manage different levels of permissions, an Enterprise CMS offers flexibility and customisation options. You can precisely define user permissions at different levels, allowing you to effectively manage teams and processes within your organisation.

3. Do you have high security requirements?

For industries that handle sensitive data, such as finance, healthcare or public administration, security is a top priority. An enterprise CMS offers advanced security features and the ability to integrate with other security systems. In addition, technical support and service level agreements (SLAs) ensure reliability and stable operation.

4. Do you need effective integration of your CMS with other systems?

If your business requires CMS integration with various tools such as CRM, ERP or marketing automation systems, an Enterprise CMS offers advanced integration capabilities. This ensures that all systems within your organisation can work in harmony, resulting in smoother business processes.

5. Is content critical to your business?

If content plays a key role in your business strategy, advanced analytics and content personalisation are essential. An Enterprise CMS offers sophisticated personalisation features and comprehensive analytics tools that allow you to track user behaviour in detail and optimise content to better meet the needs of your target audience.

6. Has your organisation evaluated other (non-enterprise) CMS providers?

If you’re looking for reassurance about your IT partner’s experience, secure product implementation and first-class technical support, an Enterprise CMS offers access to advanced technical support and guaranteed uptime (SLA) to ensure that your system runs smoothly and without downtime.

If you answered yes to at least three of the above questions, an Enterprise CMS is the ideal solution for you. It will help you effectively manage content on a large scale and optimise key processes within your organisation.

Examples of industries that benefit from implementing Enterprise CMS

Financial industry

Organisations in the financial sector, such as banks and insurance companies, must comply with strict regulations such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and PSD2 (Payment Services Directive). An Enterprise CMS provides advanced permissions management and security features that allow precise control over access to sensitive data, while ensuring full compliance with applicable regulations.

Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, where regulatory compliance is critical, an enterprise CMS provides tools for managing large volumes of documentation and content that must meet stringent regulatory requirements, such as the Medicines Directive and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines. These systems enable the efficient management of marketing content, product information and educational materials.

E-commerce

For e-commerce companies, managing large volumes of product content and integrating with payment and inventory systems is critical. An enterprise CMS provides the flexibility and scalability needed to handle large numbers of products and respond quickly to changing market demands. Integration with other systems makes it possible to track user behaviour and optimise the path to purchase, which is essential in a competitive environment.

Media & Entertainment

Media and entertainment companies manage vast amounts of content and distribute it across multiple platforms – from websites to mobile apps to streaming services. An enterprise CMS provides tools for real-time content management, enabling rapid publishing and updates to increase reach and engagement with different audiences.

Public sector organisations need to meet stringent compliance requirements, such as GDPR, and manage citizen data.
