today announced it has been named a "Leader" in the 2020 Nucleus Research Content Management

functionality, as determined by analysis of interviews with end-users and ongoing research by the firm.
The 2020 report included reviews of 17 vendors and placed them in quadrants based on how Nucleus
Research assessed them as Leaders, Experts, Facilitators and Core Providers.
