DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: Future of the CMS: Decoupled, multichannel, and content-as-a-service

This talk explores the evolving landscape of content management and publishing, focusing on how media companies, publishers, universities, and nonprofits are successfully adapting their strategies. The speaker discusses the benefits of decoupling content management systems, like "headless" Drupal and WordPress, which separates content management from presentation to enhance support for new technologies and devices. The session also covers multichannel publishing, allowing seamless content distribution across various platforms, and the concept of content-as-a-service to streamline content management. Additionally, the speaker addresses the importance of future-proofing projects by evaluating when to separate frontend and backend systems, illustrated with case studies from TWiT.tv and NBC, showcasing the integration of APIs for enhanced user interaction and connectivity across platforms.
