Great dynamic content repository.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Bloomreach Content / XM 16 as of now. The platform is the core of the organization to store the content that is exposed to our end users. The challenges faced were mainly: internationalization, performance, and usability. Internationalization has been the most appreciated win as our contributors have a content system that easily makes content available in many languages. Also making use of things like translation plugins which we customized taking advantage of the smart translation plugin design already in place. Performance is also really good as we followed the guidelines and the advice from Bloomreach support. The usability is great in every aspect from our contributors to our end-users.

Pros

  • Extension points make easy to implement customer requirements.
  • Support team is awesome. The most helpful team I've worked with when calling for help.
  • Maintenance.
  • Scalability. Existings plugins, the possibility to extend them and to even customize them in edge cases

Cons

  • Lucene indexing phase, when starting from scratch, can take a really long time if the content quantity is large.
  • Apache Wicket makes debugging errors a nightmare on occasion in the frontend.
  • A solution to create document types that are complex and maintainable.

Return on Investment

  • End-user content feedback is really good.
  • Content contributors' lives are easier with additional plugins.
