Survey Seeks to Define Open Source CMS Market Leaders, Key Market Dynamics

Nov. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Bali, Indonesia – water&stone is now in the process of gathering data for the third annual Open Source CMS Market Share Report. This year’s report will be looking at survey data gathered from CMS users around the world. The survey is now available online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/oscms2010

“We ran a similar CMS user survey in 2009. That survey gathered responses from over 500 CMS users. We’re hoping to top that this year in order to gather a broader sampling of opinions in this rapidly changing and competitive market,” notes Ric Shreves, partner at water&stone and lead analyst on the Report.

The survey asks users about the selection criteria they use for screening content management systems and inquires into user opinions on thirty different open source CMS products. “We will select the final set of the Top 20 products based, in part, on what we learn from the survey,” states Shreves. Participants in the survey can request to receive an advance copy of the final Report.

The Open Source CMS Market Share Report was launched in 2008 by digital agency water&stone. The Report is non-commercial and released under an open license. Since its inception, the Open Source CMS Market Share Report has become the industry standard for purpose of defining market share and adoption rates in the open source content management system market. The final 2010 Report is expected to be published in early December, 2010.
