From OCM to CM Box: Why CM Box Is the Future of Enterprise Digital Experience Platforms

As Oracle Content Management (OCM) approaches its end-of-life in December 2025, many organizations are actively exploring future-ready alternatives that not only ensure a smooth migration, but also deliver more advanced digital experience capabilities. CM Box, the modern Digital Experience Platform (DXP) developed by Fishbowl Solutions, is purpose-built to step into this role—offering a seamless transition path while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in enterprise content and experience management.

In this post, we’ll take a high-level look at both platforms and explore how CM Box is not just replacing OCM, but redefining the DXP landscape with a fully integrated, cloud-native solution engineered for agility, scalability, and long-term innovation.

Tune in:

What is Oracle Content Management?

Oracle Content Management (OCM) is Oracle’s cloud-native, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed to support the full lifecycle of digital content—from creation and collaboration to omnichannel delivery and governance. Positioned as an API-first, enterprise-grade content platform, OCM provides organizations with the flexibility to build dynamic, content-driven experiences across web, mobile, email, chatbots, and other digital touchpoints.

At its core, OCM combines the strengths of a traditional CMS with the agility of a headless architecture. This hybrid approach empowers developers to deliver content seamlessly to any frontend via REST and GraphQL APIs, while offering marketers and business users intuitive tools for content authoring, asset management, and site building. Additionally, its integrated Digital Asset Management (DAM), document management capabilities make it a powerful solution for enterprises looking to streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and maintain control over content at scale.

Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), OCM offers high performance, scalability, and native integration with Oracle’s broader ecosystem—including CX and marketing automation tools—making it an ideal platform for organizations seeking to unify content strategy with business processes.
