out of the box FNMS can connect to a variety of sources for inventory systems, I will post a quick screenshot showing the selection available:
You can find these on your beacon under Inventory Systems>New
Of course you can also make customisations also for additional sources but I wont get into that, our services team is best to advice on such endevours

Come to think of it I do not believe we do have compatibility with CMS systems generally, I know I have used WordPress and Joomla in the past for my own projects and found no way to integrate them with fnms out of the box. It may be worth raising an enhancement if you believe this would be beneficial to the product however

The answer to the general question "does FlexNet discover/collect inventory about software XYZ" depends on what sort of footprint the software has on computers, and what data is gathered by the inventory gathering tool you are using.
FlexNet models software inventory imported from your inventory source(s) using two primary concepts:
So to answer the general question "does FlexNet discover/collect inventory about software XYZ", think through:
If the answer to both questions is "yes", then FlexNet will be able to recognize installations of the software.
For some software, specialized data gathering is appropriate as one or both of the above questions do not have a "yes" answer. If you are using the FlexNet agent for gathering inventory, it contains capabilities to gather specialized data for software such as:
Except for Microsoft SharePoint, the FlexNet agent does not have any specialized data gathering capability for other CMS systems listed in this question - so the generalized tests described above should be applied for those systems.
