Lucent develops an innovative Headless Content Management System (CMS) as a Service

Solution & Product

The main product of our company, that we develop for the past years, is Lucent CMS. A headless CMS for large organizations and web agencies. Our product provides innovative technological solutions in the headless CMS space. It follows a 100% serverless architecture. Meaning that our clients don’t need to invest in infrastructure to use our product. These are some of the core features: - Advance Content delivery and distribution though Edge Caching and REST Apis - Innovative localization experience. Allowing international companies to localize their content in flexible ways. - Media management and manipulation. - Team and organization management. - Data isolation and on demand scalability - White-label features, allowing web agencies to re-license our product - Integration with popular service such as MongoDB, AWS, Azure Cloud, ElasticSearch. - Deep graph database model, ideal for eCommerce apps - And much more

Innovation & Scalability

A great innovation of our product is that our customers are free to use their technology of choice to connect to any of the “heads”. Once the content is ready developers can load it to a website, mobile app, or other channel. Due to the separated nature of the headless CMS, our customers can choose the technologies that fit their current architecture. Our competitive advantages are Personalization, Localization & Security. Personalization and Localization allow content editors to deliver future-proof digital experiences. Our customers can easily unlock new revenue sources, reaching a global audience because we offer full localization support and a translation workflow for all types of content and assets. Security is a major deciding factor when it comes to choosing a CMS for a business. Our platform protects against security risks due to its decoupled nature. Our API can also provide content distribution that is read-only. Additionally, that API can be placed behind an application and a security layer. Finally, an important innovation is the way we bill our customers. Most, if not all, of our competitor follow the standard subscription package per website. After analysis and discussion with our customers, we concluded that “taxing” the horizontal growth is counter-intuitive for most businesses. On the other hand, vertically billing based on usage is fairer and allows our customers to have flexibility when reselling our product or planning to expand their business.

Traction & achievements
