Content Here Announces Publication of Open Source Web Content Management Report

February 13, 2008 Blog No Comments

Content Here, an analyst and consulting firm focused on content technologies, announced the availability of its first report: Open Source Web Content Management in Java. The 160-page publication is a deep and thoughtful analysis of the open source content management marketplace and includes detailed evaluations of seven open source projects: Alfresco, Apache Lenya, Daisy CMS, Hippo CMS, Jahia, Magnolia, and OpenCms.

The report examines the rich selection of Java open source software, particularly for companies building basic informational brochure sites and companies looking for a web content management framework to integrate into large, custom architectures. Two of the products reviewed are poised to expand their European install-bases and enter the North American CMS market.

Open Source Web Content Management in Java includes:

Strategies for evaluating different types of open source projects
How to consider open source in conjunction with commercial options
Insights into the project communities, their histories and their outlooks
A rating system for comparing/contrasting the open source WCM options

“Companies considering open source software greatly benefit from a comprehensive understanding of an open source project—its origins, differentiators, strengths, and weaknesses,” said Content Here’s principal and founder Seth Gottlieb. “Our goal is to provide a go-to resource for those seeking a contextual overview of the market and/or a detailed look at some leading projects. Just like with commercial web content management software, knowledge of the platform, realistic expectations, scope control and adherence to process are all key factors in successful open source product implementations,” said Gottlieb.
