Standard CMS systems generally output content to pages on the web. If your content is not on the web, then you would have had to input or pull content again into the system that displays it. With a Headless CMS this is not the case.
A headless CMS separates the management of content (production and storage) from the way it is displayed and distributed. This means that content stored in one place can be pushed to a website, a mobile app, a Facebook chatbot, a POS system or a voice assistant such as Google Home or Alexa.
If you have content that distributes to multiple channels, you should consider using a Headless CMS. It will ensure that your content teams handle all the production of content and your developers handle the display, independently of each other, avoiding roadblocks in distribution and allowing the content to be displayed independent of any limitations of technology.

What is a Headless CMS?
There a two types of CMS systems, a traditional CMS which integrates content with technology and a ‘decoupled’ or ‘headless’ CMS, which separates the management of content from its display. Standard CMS systems generally output content to pages on the web. If your content is not on the web, then you would have had to input or pull content again into the system that displays it. With a Headless CMS this is not the case.

What is JAMstack?
JAMstack stands for JavaScript, API’s and Markup. It’s not a specific technology, but a different way of building websites.
JAMstack makes websites faster. It decouples the code, infrastructure and content and means that load is channeled away from the server and to a client’s display. This frees up the server because it is not getting so many requests for data, making for a lightning fast experience for a site user.
What is a suitable business or enterprise CMS?
A CMS system is vital to create, manage and publish content to a website, application or other digital channel, and choosing a CMS system can be a daunting task.
Advanced CMS systems (or Digital Experience Platforms) combine content management with personalisation, optimisation and marketing tools to deliver a richer experience to you and the customer based on analytics.
For publishing to multiple channels, such as website, mobile app, chatbots and digital signage (amongst others), you might consider a Headless CMS that makes content re-usable for multiple purposes.
