CMS Vendor Evaluation — start here

Contentful vs. Contentstack vs. Sanity, for BMW/MINI's migration off Adobe AEM. One shared technical dossier + executive layer, and a dedicated one-day workshop pack for each vendor (we meet them on separate days). Every hard claim links to official vendor documentation; unknowns are marked and turned into gate questions.

READ FIRST the dossier — the "why"
ON THE DAY the vendor pack — the "show us"
DECIDE 8 pass/fail gates, not the weighted total

The dossier

CMS Shortlist Datasheet

DOSSIER + EXEC

The full comparison: executive verdict, the eight non-negotiable decision gates, a severity-ranked risk register per vendor, the two decisive requirements (HQ→market inheritance, enforced approval), hard-limits + content-modeling-ceiling tables, migration/exit mechanics, ops/compliance, AI, personalization, weighted scoring with sensitivity, and the question bank. Verified against official docs (2026-07-06/07/08).
