Population Size Drives CMS Choices in Government: Study by Veniz Guzman

Government content management system (CMS) preferences evolve significantly with population size, according to a recent study by Veniz Guzman published on Promet Source. Smaller entities like small to mid-sized cities and counties typically opt for government-focused proprietary solutions such as CivicPlus and Revize, which offer tailored features for local government needs. As population size increases, there is a notable shift towards enterprise-level CMS platforms, including open-source solutions like Drupal and proprietary systems like Microsoft SharePoint. This transition reflects the necessity for scalability, flexibility, and advanced features to manage complex content structures and high traffic volumes. The study highlights that large counties and cities abandon government-specific CMS platforms in favor of enterprise systems to meet these demands. The trend underscores the importance of robust, customizable, and integrated solutions in handling the digital requirements of growing government entities.
