About Contentful
Founded in Berlin in 2011 as a start-up with three employees, Contentful GmbH has grown into one of the big players on the content management system (CMS) vendor market within just a few years. Unlike traditional CMS providers, the headless CMS focuses on interfaces and is thus extremely streamlined, versatile and easy to connect.
With a headless CMS, content can be distributed simultaneously to many different types of media – websites, (progressive web) apps, digital signage – via interfaces (APIs) without having to transfer it manually.

Gaining More Flexibility and Autonomy with Contentful CMS
Contentful is a popular, cloud-based alternative to traditional content management systems – especially for companies that focus on multi-channel marketing and want to distribute their content quickly, freely and flexibly across various channels.
The solution is a decoupled CMS, which means that the front end and back end are separated. This special infrastructure has substantial advantages for both content creators and software development teams: content only needs to be created and distributed once, significantly reducing the time required to complete these tasks.
In addition, the published content is automatically and perfectly adapted to the device in use and the viewport. Developers can work with any type of code and install additional extensions as required.
Benefits of Contentful
Contentful excels in development, marketing and decision-making processes – the latter through performance and scalability. Marketers like the intuitive handling of the web app and development teams appreciate the innovative API-first approach: structured data and the separation of content and presentation layer allow for the integration of content into mobile apps as well as progressive web apps beyond website creation.
Moreover, the software solution has a flexible microservices architecture that ensures additional speed and adaptability in all currently important programming languages. Accordingly, Contentful can be easily connected to other systems such as PIM, CRM or e-commerce solutions.
