I continue to hear that competitors are spreading FUD that Microsoft CMS is dead. This is far from the truth and Content Management has a big future in Microsoft plans.
We know that from talking to our customers and partners there is great interest in having our web content management and portal strategies more closely aligned, and for this reason the CMS development team has moved into the Information Worker organisation. So the next version of CMS will be architecturally consistent with the SharePoint products and technologies. Whilst it is too early to discuss plans what packaging/licensing and specific functionality will look like, we are committed to providing customers with solutions that enable them to create, share and manage all types of content in their organization.
One of the key reasons that the CMS plans are being kept quiet is that CMS is now an important component of Office 12 and so its not appropriate to discuss CMS vNext in isolation. Office 12 is still deep in development but as soon as our intentions are in stone, the IW team will begin communicating publicly the various pieces of what we have in mind for the complete Office12 wave of products - and that will include details about CMS vNext.
Until then customers and partners can be confident that CMS2002 is hugely successful and that there is considerable investment in CMS futures ... for evidence check the following open job positions to join the CMS vNext team as program managers, developers and testers:
