Enterprise buyers across higher education, healthcare, government, financial services, and B2B are asking the same questions in 2026: Is composable still the answer? When does MCP-readiness become a non-negotiable RFP requirement? Why are 78 percent of enterprise AI teams already running MCP-backed agents in production? When does AEM earn its $3M to $12M five-year cost, and when does it not? This 30-page ebook compares Drupal CMS 2.0, WordPress VIP, Adobe Experience Manager, and the headless field across the ten dimensions that decide the next decade of your digital operations.
