“I don’t like being bored.” That was one of the first things Christine King said to me during our recent chat. Take a quick gander at her resume and you’ll see it’s true. This powerhouse of a woman hasn’t stopped since 1973 – and that’s just the way she likes it. Before her breakthrough role as the first female CEO at AMI Semiconductor, Christine ..read more

“If you build it, they will come…” Maybe the team at Builder.io was channeling that phrase as they forged their roadmap for innovation. It’s clearly working. And if the apotheosis isn’t self-evident, “they” refers to the almighty Microsoft. Pedagogy aside, “they” just delivered a Field of Dreams to the AI-powered “visual headless CMS” to the tune o ..read more

“All vendor websites look the same today.” That was an observation volleyed by Andrew Kumar of Uniform at a recent Boye & Co CMS Experts session in Toronto. Is he right? Far be it from me to appear “critical” of the field, but it kinda comes with the territory – and a quick perusal would seem to validate the comment. Some of the sameness might be ..read more

When I spoke to Nishant Patel last week, he was floating on cloud nine. You might assume it’s because the company he co-founded, Contentstack, just announced the addition of Google Cloud Platform to its offerings. This puts the headless CMS-turned-composable-DXP in the unique position of providing deployments across all three of the major cloud pro ..read more

When it comes to AI, every technology vendor is being compelled to go with the flow. Seriously, though, is it even a choice? Can you afford to sidestep the infusion of artificial intelligence into your platform? Can you kick the LLM down the digital field and “wait 'n see” how it all shakes out? Probably not – if you want to stay in parity with co ..read more

I got the Salesforce Blues…Even Slack can't pick me up…I got the Salesforce Blues…Is Informatica outta luck? Oh, Salesforce. Even legendary blues disciple Robert Johnson couldn’t pen a sadder tune about these troubled waters. What did you ever do to deserve this reaction?

I’ll say it: the word “headless” isn’t exactly a great catch. Or catchy, for that matter. I’m not alone in this opinion (or malady, take your pick). It suffers a multitude of problems, but mostly a basic lack of brand appeal. We all get it. The idea of “cutting off” a head – be it from a fish or a presentation layer – is intuitive enough.
