The People Behind Content Lion Know Digital Experience Enterprise Software
On December 7th, 2023, Oracle announced the end of a wonderful
product called “Oracle Content Management”. (OCM). Fortunately,
Oracle gave all customers a two-year heads up to find a new
home.
OCM was a fantastic solution but clearly Oracle did not want to be
in the content business anymore. Yet OCM had a rabid cult
following for a reason - it was modern, versatile content
management platform. It performed well and it lay at the
foundation of content, publishing, sharing, distributing and
headless content.
On the day of the announcement David G. Ewing and Cassandra W.
Paul (soon to be co-founders of Content Lion) were the CEO and
President of Motiv - an OCM customer as well as implementation
partner for Oracle. David and Cassie personally knew a great deal
of the customers, partners and agencies who designed implemented
and operated OCM.
The team got to work to discover the best OCM replacement for themselves and their clients, but they ran into a problem. . .
Cassie and David had set out to accomplish on mission. Find a new
home for every OCM customer, so that's exactly what they decided
should be the first mission of Content Lion:
Find a New Home for Every OCM customer by December 31st, 2025.
That mission began with a lot of discussion with a lot of
customers, partners and agencies. As they discussed the problem,
there were a wide range of slutions. Some companies immediately
buckled down, found a replacement set of solutions and migrated -
very costly, but it is said that “if you can afford to throw
money at a problem, you often don't have a problem.”
Many more companies paused to revaluate their options. David and
Cassie recruited OCM general manager, Chris Stone, to join as an
advisor. Then they recruited John Witten to help capitalize the
company. At least one other new competitor arrived on the scene.
As Content Lion was in early development the explored joining
forces but could not make that ork. Content Lion development began
in August of 2024 with a vision to make a minimum viable product
in 5 months.
By January of 2025 Content Lion 1.0 Launched to much fan fare.
Eight companies joined immediately. As the new customers
onboarded, Content Lion eradicated bugs and built additional
features. Motiv was the first company migrated to Content Lion in
March. By May 31st the product achieved SOC 2 certification and
adoption began to soar. More customers joined in the second
wave.
As wave 3 beings, Content Lion celebrates a full year of rapid
development and boasts a complete product that has nearly all the
features of OCM plus a great deal more. The biggest difference
between OCm and Content Lion is the presence of AI. Content Lion
is the first digital experience platform built in the age of AI.
As such, Content lion has matured past OCM and become something
more - an open, integrated digital experience platform capable of
orchestrating content and experience flows across applications.
Too many companies are claiming to be “ai this” and “ai that” and
it is clear that the level of skepticism is rising rapidly.
Content Lion seeks to be a real AI powered solution that uses AI
to achieve high power business outcomes. As Content Lion pounces
on 2026 the mission will change and become:
Leverage content to deliver digital experiences to 1,000 customers
across digital channels by the end of 2026.
That is a big task, but one that Content Lion is uniquely suited
to handle. With a strong base of customers and powerful financial
backing from Stone Henge Captial, Content Lion's rapid pac eof
development will mean that our customers, nicknames “The Pride”
will enjoy:
Real AI features designed to build sites, find content, train AI models and orchestrate experiences.
Omni channel publishing of content across sites, portals, applications, mobile, AI engines, social media.
Application level connectivity between Content Lion and all the digital creation tools that make Content powerful
Migration tools designed to enable customers from other DXPs to join The Pride quickly and easily
