What is Contentful CMS and its key features?
Content Management Systems (CMS) have been around for a long time, and one prominent participant in this market is Day Software, a Swiss business that is not as well-known as some of its competitors. In the year 2000, Day Software introduced a revolutionary content management system (CMS) solution known as Communique. Later on, it came to be known as Day CQ5, and it gained prominence as a result of the adaptive back-end technology that it utilized. This technology was based on a Java Content Repository, or JCR.
The fact that CQ5 did not take the standard method of depending on a conventional Database Management System (DBMS) was what set it apart from other similar products. Instead, it made use of the hierarchical object data model known as the Object Relational Data Model. This methodology was especially well-suited for effectively managing unstructured content because of its flexibility and adaptability. By adopting this design, CQ5 provided a robust framework for organizing, storing, and retrieving a wide variety of content types, such as text, images, videos, and many more. This architecture was also used.
After ten years of operation, the software company Day Software was purchased by Adobe, a well-known and respected international technology company. As part of the acquisition, CQ5 was rebranded by Adobe as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), bringing it into alignment with their larger array of experience-driven solutions. CQ5 was formerly known as Adobe Experience Platform. While AEM was easily integrated into Adobe's ecosystem of marketing, analytics, and customer experience technologies, CQ5's fundamental advantages were not lost in the process.
