AI digs deep into user data, behavior of the users and offers deep insight into their needs and aspirations. This can be used to offer a highly personalized experience to the users and increase sales and conversion for a website.

Most CMS tools are adopting password-less authentication models such as biometric security or Google Authenticator. This has helped in reducing the vulnerability of websites.
- Cloud Solutions: While cloud has been there for a while in the last few years we are increasingly witnessing the popularity of Cloud based CMS tools. These work on both SaaS and On-Demand model thus offering more flexibility to the users. While they are yet to take over from traditional Content Management Systems in the next few years they would offer a new direction to how websites are developed and managed.
