Glide Publishing Platform, the cloud-native headless CMS purpose-built for publishers, media, and sports & entertainment organizations, today announces a strategic technology partnership with Kordiam, a leading content planning and workflow management platform. 

Through this partnership, Glide and Kordiam will enhance editorial collaboration and visibility across the content lifecycle for users, solving many challenges content teams face in planning, organizing, and executing content strategies. 

The common issues teams face include: 

• No centralized view of what has been planned, is in progress, or is delayed, together causing duplicate work, missed deadlines, or inconsistent publishing schedules. 

• Inefficient and error-prone workflows due to disconnected tools, manual steps, and lack of clear ownership.

• Fragmented content strategies leading to poor SEO, declining traffic, and decreasing audience engagement.  

“Editorial and content teams need a connected ecosystem where planning and publishing go hand-in-hand and using the tools best suited to what they do,” said Rich Fairbairn, Chief Product Officer of Glide Publishing Platform. “This partnership with Kordiam answers that need by directly connecting editorial strategy with agile content workflows. Together we empower publishers to move faster, collaborate better, and deliver more engaging content to audiences wherever they are.”

Glide will integrate Kordiam’s advanced content planning tool with its headless CMS, Glide CMS, to bring connected planning to editorial and content teams, giving them the power to:

• Plan smarter: Kordiam offers one central location to organize, track and adjust daily stories and their workflows effortlessly as well as visualize the longer term newsroom strategy.

• Work faster: Push content from Kordiam directly into Glide’s structured CMS environment for editing, previewing, and multichannel publishing.

• Collaborate better: Align editorial, SEO, and production teams with real-time visibility across the entire content lifecycle.

"Kordiam combines strategy and execution," said Robert Dönges, Partner and Integration Manager at Kordiam. "This collaboration with Glide Publishing Platform means that editorial teams no longer have to juggle disjointed tools or waste time with duplicate work. It's a huge leap forward for visibility and productivity."

Later this month Glide will be attending Kordiam’s Editorial Days 21-22 May in Hamburg, Germany, where they will provide a demonstration of the Glide CMS platform, inclusive of the Kordiam integration.
