Content Management Systems

Organizing & harnessing digial assets

CMS products provide your organization a means of structuring your digital assets (documents, pictures, videos, etc.) so they can be easily accessed by the people that need them - internal staff, business partners, web visitors, etc. A CMS can be the foundation of internal document controls or the framework for a dynamic web site.

Open source solutions

ConnectingBlox has worked with a variety of open source CMS platforms. Here are some of the ones which we have found to be excellent products for our clients' needs.

Joomla!

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

Drupal

Drupal is a community-built website development tool. Drupal uses a point-and-click interface to let you add pages, menus, images and file uploads and it enforces security, so you can apply permissions to different kinds of users. As your website grows, it's easy to add custom features from the thousands of add-on modules. Drupal is highly regarded as one of the best website frameworks available and is rapidly gaining adoption all over the globe.

Nuxeo DM

Nuxeo DM 5.3 addresses the demands of customers and partners as they deploy content management solutions to meet the needs of the busy information worker. Key drivers for this release include: support for increasingly social business applications; streamlined information access and flow of content across diverse repositories and sites; and enhanced tagging services to enrich metadata usage

Alfresco

Overpriced, overly complex Enterprise Content Management has been commoditized and consumerized. Real people want the simplicity and familiarity of the tools they use day-in, day-out: shared drives and Microsoft Office. Alfresco captures, shares and retains content, enabling users to version, search and simply build their own content applications - all with the tools they use today.

LifeRay

Liferay Portal is all about choice: it gives you over 60 tools and a selection of today's most innovative technologies to enable you to do everything from creating websites to building intranets to simply getting the right documents and applications to the right people.
