What it covers

See how your platform holds up across the criteria that matter most in enterprise media. Five minutes. Ten standards. One honest score.

  • Governance: Control over content and infrastructure is either yours, or it isn’t.
  • Ecosystem: Vendor dependency is a spectrum. Know where your platform sits today and how it shapes your options tomorrow.
  • Security and compliance: Enterprise-grade standards aren’t optional. The gap between compliant and almost compliant has consequences.
  • Performance and scalability: High-traffic days are your performance benchmark. Platforms that hold at peak moments are built differently from the start.
  • Cost of exit: The true cost of a platform includes what happens when your needs outgrow it.

What you walk away with

  • Your platform’s score and tier: Future-Ready, Developing, or At-Risk
  • Highlights on platform strengths, vulnerabilities, and areas worth a closer look
  • Downloadable PDF to share with your leadership team and board

“The safest CMS decision is the one you won’t have to revisit.”
