The Constellation ShortList, curated by Constellation Research, serves as a trusted guide for C-suite leaders evaluating technology investments.

Why hybrid CMS is a strategic imperative
Today’s digital leaders face an urgent need to deliver personalized omnichannel experiences without compromising IT governance or slowing down content production. A hybrid CMS addresses this challenge by blending the strengths of headless CMS (decoupled content delivery) with intuitive, marketer-friendly tools — allowing teams to build dynamic digital experiences without reliance on development resources.
Brightspot CMS is purpose-built for this evolving landscape, offering flexibility for developers and ease of use for content creators. As a fully API-driven platform, it provides the freedom to integrate with any front end while also delivering robust templates, WYSIWYG editing and localization features that help organizations scale their content strategies efficiently.
What we've seen in the market is that headless is good for some use cases, but it's not ideal for everything. People are realizing flexibility is critical.
