Fairwell to RedDot Content Management System

Thanks to my weekly CMSWire email, I was alerted to the end of the RedDot CMS era. It was a bit nostalgic for me, as in my early days of blogging, I did a review of RedDot.

The RedDot Content Management System brand had been around since the mid 1990s, and my review was done when I was looking for a CMS for my company back in 2005. Though my review was favorable, we selected a different CMS. Several RedDot users who visited my blog, though, were less than complimentary.

Regardless of that, the RedDot brand may be gone, but the software continues to be delivered by publisher Open Text under their Web Solutions family of products.

This brand evolution has been a couple of years in the making, and the interview with Open Text’s SVP for Corporate Strategy, Daniel Kraft, provides the details.
