Despite reports that many enterprises are pursuing more advanced omnichannel content platforms, new research from headless content management system Storyblok shows that companies are still taking a cautious approach and mostly sticking with websites and mobile apps, even though there are plenty of other content venues to consider.
While there is an increase in interest in areas like voice-activated speakers, AR/VR and smartwatches for the future, the data shows that they’re still on the lowest end of the scale. According to the new State of Content Management 2022 report, when asked which platforms and channels they serve with their CMS, just 7.2 percent said voice-activated speakers, 6.6 percent said AR/VR, and only 3.7 percent said smartwatches.

“This data proves that enterprise adoption of newer content platforms has a long way to go, but we’re still in the early days of advanced digital transformation projects,” said Dominik Angerer, co-founder and CEO of Storyblok, in a news release. “Once more companies understand how a headless CMS makes it possible for one content hub to easily publish content everywhere, the growth of omnichannel content experiences will accelerate at a much more rapid pace.”
