Distributed CMS Post

I wrote something for Boye and Co. as part of the lead-up to the Brooklyn conference: The Future Might Be Distributed. This is going to be the topic of my Brooklyn talk.

What if inbound requests to the same web presence could be directed to a backend provider best equipped to service them? What if a single, integrated web presence could be serviced by an array of systems, each working independently, and providing content to a “last mile delivery system” which massaged and homogenized it, and provided a set of delivery services – analytics, security, design systems, etc. – to optimize it?

I’m waiting for a vendor to step up and say, “We realize we won’t use us for all your content, but we embrace the idea of helping you bring your dispersed content together.”
