BNP has for the fifth consecutive time since August 2000 carried out a comprehensive Benchmark analysis of the leading Content Management Systems (CMS) and Portal products in the European market.

The BNP CMS and Portal Benchmark Analysis is unique regarded in a European context and among the most detailed analyses of this specific market. 

BNP have selected a number of leading Danish and international CMS and Portal vendors to participate in the analysis. In the period of April – July 2006 the vendors have provided a large amount of information about their services and products.

Each vendor has specifically answered a RFI (Request for Information) containing 20 pages of questions from BNP. This way BNP have gained a very good insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each product and vendor. A consequent methodology behind the analysis has furthermore made the answers directly comparative which enables BNP to identify which specific systems that represents Best Practice within various criteria.

This year The Benchmark analysis is even more advanced compared to the analyses carried out the previous years (2001, 2002, 2003/2004, and 2005). Earlier criteria have been expanded to cover the different needs of BNP's customers. The Benchmark analysis 2006 will cover a variety of CMS related functionalities, for example integration to Document Management (DM), Portals, Search Engines (SE), etc.

More than 14.000 pages of answers to the questions in the RFI including documentation have now been analysed by BNP. As in the previous years BNP have written a summary containing conclusions and CMS trends in the Danish/Nordic and European market.
