I participated in a panel today together with Percussion, Microsoft and Synkron on web communication. I tried to preach focus on simplicity, communication and presentation instead of tools. We were asked how the world of web communication looked like in 2010 (why are we always supposed to do the impossible ;-) ) and I claimed the death of Enterprise Web CMS and that people wouldn't be talking about tools (Andreas from synkron agreed).
When people start to focus on their needs they will realize the Emperor’s new clothes syndrome of some vendors. Yesteday in the demo panel, Interwoven claimed they couldn’t be compared with the rest of us, because they worked with huge projects with huge tools for huge clients. When it was my turn I had to add that umbraco are involved in projects being smaller because of clever tools yet still with companies of 10.000+ employees.
