Re: The open source revolution
by
Seth Gottlieb
Hi. This is Seth here. I just wanted to clarify on my "favorite" CMS. While I like Plone (both using and developing) I don't have a favorite CMS. They are all so different and have different strenghts and weaknesses. The right CMS for the job depends on the business requirements. For example, we recently launched the optaros.com website on eZ publish. One of the major drivers of this decision was the way eZ publish handles localized content. We work in English, German, and French speaking markets so our content needs to be localized to each of those three languages. Plone does something similar through the LinguaPlone add-on product but it is not as tightly integrated to the core.
The number of open source choices is both good and bad. Good, because you have many options that you could make work. Bad because the selection is often overwhelming. I guess that goes for the commercial CMS market as well.
It was great to meet the Prescient team. Having an understanding of the business and operational aspects of content management is so important and often overlooked in a marketplace that is dominated by software vendors drawing attention to features rather than requirements.
