Some of the leading press organizations that Forrester talked to are even considering adopting open source technologies for critical applications like Web content management (WCM). However, Forrester believes that the press should think twice about this: The open source market for WCM is not yet mature enough to address large enterprises' highly sophisticated WCM requirements.
