dotCMS

Loyalty is not inherited anymore. Every generation has to be won over again, one digital experience at a time.

In Episode 16 of 'Real Talk, Real Trust with dotCMS', J.J. Slygh breaks down why credit unions and regional banks keep losing the next generation of consumers to bigger banks, and what it actually takes to win them back: smarter use of AI, personalization that doesn't feel fake, and closing the digital gaps most banks don't even know they have.

dotCMS is headed to Becker's Healthcare 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference this September 14-17 in Chicago.

Over four days, 2,500+ health IT, revenue cycle, and digital health leaders will dig into what's next for AI, interoperability, and the systems running behind the scenes at hospitals and health systems nationwide.

We'll be at Booth 5222 talking about how a visual, headless CMS helps compliance-led healthcare organizations manage content, governance, and digital experiences across every site, brand, and region, without slowing teams down.

Come find Ryan Picchini (CRO), Laura Cabrerizo (Solutions Engineer), and Inna Bosenko 🇺🇦 (VP Marketing) at Booth 5222. We'd love to talk.

📍 Hilton Chicago | Booth 5222 📅 September 14-17, 2026

dotDEV August Edition 01 · EDITORIAL From the desk of Jamie Mauro, Technical Writer @ dotCMS Spare a thought for the hallways and where they lead the mind. The Stoa Poikile, a covered colonnade, gave the Stoics their name, just as the Lyceum’s peripatos did for Aristotle’s “peripatetic” school.

Our July dotDEV is live ⬇️

Highlights: an MCP Server (Beta) that lets Claude Desktop or Cursor build sites, migrate content, and run accessibility reports on dotCMS. Plus three new AI providers in dotAI (Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock), and four new Universal Visual Editor capabilities built to get engineering out of the layout-ticket business.

dotDEV July Edition 01 · EDITORIAL Note from our technical writer Jameson Mauro: Last month, dotCMS traipsed the woods; we ran alongside streams cool as winter’s memory, calling and answering with wit and mirth, reveling in the blossom of youth! But one careless footfall into a ring of toadstools can change the tape...

"Intentional behavior." That's how one AI-powered coding platform described a vulnerability that exposed source code, credentials, and customer data across the apps built on it.

Our Director of Cyber Security, Mehdi Karimi, Ph.D., has a different read: trust without governance, not speed, is the most dangerous default in AI today.
His argument: as AI moves from assistant to infrastructure, writing code, connecting to APIs, touching production systems, governing it like a simple productivity tool isn't enough anymore. Shadow AI isn't a productivity problem. It's a governance problem, and IBM's 2025 breach research backs this up: incidents involving unmanaged AI tools carry a steep added cost.

"Governance should be built into the systems that create, manage and deliver content, not layered on after new tools have already been connected."
Read the full breakdown, including what this means for digital experience and content teams specifically.

According to a June 2025 Gartner press release, by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024. A separate Gartner forecast from August 2025 projects that task-specific AI agents will be in 40% of enterprise apps as early as 2026.

The organizations best positioned for this shift are not the ones with the most AI-enabled functions. They are the ones who build their content infrastructure for use by agents.

As a visual, headless CMS built for compliance-led enterprises, dotCMS AI philosophy is designed with a two-layer architecture where the same governed content, workflows, and APIs that power your editors are exactly what autonomous agents call.

🟣 Read the full architecture brief: https://www.dotcms.com/blog/from-ai-assisted-to-agent-ready-how-dotcms-is-building-for-the-agentic-age

73% of enterprise AI deployments fail to hit projected ROI. 42% of companies abandoned at least one AI initiative in 2025. The average sunk cost per project that gets dropped is $4.2 million.

The dominant explanation is bad data. But when you look closer, the problem is almost always upstream of the data pipeline. It is content that was never structured for AI. Content that cannot be tagged, governed, or served at the speed modern experiences require.

The model is not the bottleneck. The content infrastructure is. And most enterprises will not figure that out until they have already spent the budget.
