What is enterprise document management and its role in organizations?
Content Management Systems (CMS) have a long history, and one notable player in this industry is a somewhat lesser-known Swiss company called Day Software. In the year 2000, Day Software released an innovative CMS solution called as Communique. It later became recognized as Day CQ5, gaining popularity due to its adaptable back-end technology, which was built on a Java Content Repository (JCR).
What set CQ5 apart was its departure from the conventional approach of relying on a traditional Database Management System (DBMS). Instead, it used the Object Relational Data Model, a hierarchical object data model. This model was particularly well-suited for effectively managing unstructured content. CQ5 offered a solid framework for organizing, storing, and retrieving many forms of content, including as text, photographs, videos, and more by utilizing this architecture.
Day Software was acquired by renowned international technology business Adobe ten years after it was founded. CQ5 was rebranded by Adobe as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as part of the acquisition, bringing it in line with their larger lineup of experience-driven solutions. AEM seamlessly integrated into Adobe's ecosystem of marketing, analytics, and customer experience tools while maintaining CQ5's core strengths.
