(Interview) FatWire and the Web CMS Market

Author: Jason Harris

In a year that has seen falling revenues across the technology field, the content management sector has witnessed healthy returns as some companies report earnings and market growth.

FatWire is one of those companies. The web content management vendor recently reported a solid 2008 fiscal year. With 40% year-over-year growth, strong international demand and a bevy of new customers, FatWire must be doing something right.

We recently interviewed CEO Yogesh Gupta to find out about FatWire's methods and get opinions on the web content management market as a whole.
We started out by asking Gupta about 2008 inside FatWire and what led to growth despite the economy.

The FatWire CEO said 2008 was a year where many factors came together to make the year great. The competition's product offering had fallen "a bit stale," and FatWire was able to offer prospective customers an attractive product line backed by a team capable of delivering services. It seemed, to Gupta, that players such as Vignette and Interwoven lost customers because of FatWire's unique service offerings throughout their product line.
