Our friends at CMS Watch recently announced their take on trends in SaaS Web Content Management for 2009. We've been contemplating about the future of SaaS WCM for quite some time ourselves. Let’s take a look-see at CMS Watch's predictions for the year to come and some more analysis of hosted Web CMS solutions.

Clickability is keeping their eye on the marketplace. Even in a time of economic instability, companies are not going to turn their websites off. Which is good news for the SaaS-based Web CMS provider. Today they offer a new solution to their large base of media clients. The Clickability Media Solution is a consolidation of features, functionality and partnerships in the media space, tailored to the needs of the publishing industry and designed to make publishing even easier.

In addition to recently wowing the CMS world by giving away a f*ree edition of its records management module, SpringCM just released version 4.5 of its SaaS Enterprise Content Management System. The new release, while heavily focused on process management, also includes enhancements designed to improve document-centric processing and the SpringCM user experience.

In these times of economic upheaval, many businesses -- large and small -- start to take an even closer look at how they are spending their IT budgets. For those who have or are considering SaaS-based solutions, you should know there are opposing views on whether SaaS has what it takes to survive in the long term.

SaaS Web Content Management Provider Clickability is picking up some nice accolades itself lately and according to CEO John Girard, these honors are a testament to Clickability's growth with high profile companies in a number of industries. And that's not all they have to talk about these days.

Google has launched a new Website Optimizer Technology Partner (WOTEP) program to go along with its Website Optimizer Tool. The Website Optimizer is designed to help organizations increase traffic and turn more visitors into customers. Web Content Management provider Clickability has decided to take advantage of this new technology and is now a partner in the program.

On May 20th, the CODiE's were awarded at an Awards Gala in San Francisco, California. From the over 1,000 nominations from 600 companies, winners were chosen in a number of categories including software, content, education and corporate. It should come as no surprise that Clickability won the award for Best Content Management Solution. They still have some work to do though to beat Saleforce.com as the Best Software as a Service Solution...

They just finished up their 2008 User Conference in San Francisco and it looks like they were sitting on a new partnership deal the whole time. SaaS Web Content Management provider, Clickability has announced that they will partner with Twistage, a white label video solution provider, to provide online video capabilities to the Clickability Publishing Platform.

It's shaping up to be a really great year for Clickability. They had record numbers attending their User Conference in San Francisco last month and they have record numbers for usage of the SaaS web content management platform. Things are going so well, that several of their executives are joining Executive Council Boards of the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA).

It's that time again. Clickability time. For the third year in a row, Clickability is holding it's User Conference May 5-7, 2008 in San Francisco. Share strategies, interact with Clickability, it's partners and other customers. Oh and don't forget to have a margarita or two for us!

Another big day for the gang over at Clickability. The SaaS Web Content Management Provider has been selected as a Finalist for Best Content Management Solution for the 23rd Annual CODiE Awards.

Clickability is a web content management provider with a twist. Their product, the Clickability Platform, is provided On Demand and is a full service solution offering starting with Infrastructure as a Service and ending with what the company calls Innovation as a Service. The package covers both the back office content management interfaces and, importantly, the delivery and rendering infrastructure. While there's much more to the Clickability Platform then web content management, it is definitely the central component. This Quick Take Review is an overview of the Web CMS portion of the Clickability Platform. For the purposes of this review we have restricted most of our discussion on the Web Content Management capabilities -- although we do mention some of the additional components in their Software as a Service (SaaS) solution set, as interesting differentiators.

2008 is looking very good for SaaS Web Content Management Provider, Clickability. Today they announced the closing of $8 million in a second round of venture capital funding led by Shasta Ventures.

Side by side with this announcement, they also announce the introduction of a number of new executives that come from some very influential companies: ZDNet, Salesforce.com and AOL.
