dotCMS for Business Users
Empowering Business Users to Move Faster — Without Waiting on IT
dotCMS gives business leaders and content owners the freedom to deliver, optimize, and govern digital experiences, without the bottlenecks.
Why dotCMS?
With lots of CMSs on the market, what are some of the features that set dotCMS apart?
Scale Operations Without Scaling Complexity
Structured content and intelligent relationships enable modular reuse across pages, channels, and campaigns, so updates made in one place reflect everywhere. With a Content-as-a-Service model, your content is API-accessible and ready for delivery on any channel—web, mobile, or kiosk. Managing global brands, regional sites, or multiple tenants is simple from a single dotCMS instance, giving teams the agility to scale without complexity.
Make Smarter Decisions with Real-Time Insights
Built-in A/B and multivariate testing tools make it easy to experiment with different messaging or layouts and automatically deploy the highest-performing variations. You can track ROI directly within the platform, connecting your content efforts to business outcomes. And with easy-to-use personalization capabilities, you can tailor content to different personas, customer segments, or geographic locations—without ever submitting a development request.
Stay in Control Without Writing a Line of Code
With role-based access control, you can define granular permissions by user role, region, brand, or team, ensuring each stakeholder sees only what’s relevant to them. Built-in workflows allow for multi-step approvals, so content moves through governance gates before going live—ensuring brand and regulatory compliance. For peace of mind, the Time Machine and audit trail features offer complete visibility into every change made, with the ability to review or roll back updates as needed.
Collaborate Seamlessly Across Teams
dotCMS fosters alignment between marketing, legal, product, and regional teams by centralizing content operations in a governed, user-friendly workspace. With shared workflows, role-based access, and customizable dashboards, teams can collaborate in real time, stay compliant, and keep projects moving—without version conflicts or unnecessary back-and-forth.
Build Better Experiences with Low-Code Tools
The visual editing environment allows for intuitive drag-and-drop page building, leveraging reusable components and templates to launch new content quickly. Even non-technical users can extend the platform’s capabilities with low-code tools, creating forms, modifying templates, or configuring layouts to match the needs of their campaign or initiative.
