Squiz Announces Open Source CMS Review from The Butler Group
Open Source CMS
Squiz / Squiz
Squiz / Squiz
The new report is a comprehensive third party assessment of the system behind leading web sites such as Boots, Oxford University, and the Australian Federal Government. The result is a concise seven page Open Source CMS Review that describes the guts of MySource Matrix and how Squiz delivers its solutions to customers.
The report is free and available for download today via: http://www.squiz.co.uk/mysource_matrix/open-source-cms-reviews
The report includes an independent assessment of the following product and service attributes:
* Content editing (note: they think we’re easy to use);
* Content structure (they like our ‘asset-based’ approach and how simple it makes life);
* Workflow (they like it, but have some advice improving it - which we agree with. Thanks guys!);
* Open source licencing (they dig our GPL licence, and understand our SSV commercially supported version);
* Collaboration (they approve of our approval processes);
* Version control (a nice roll call for our ‘roll back’);
* Integration (they give you a great view of the breadth of our connectors);
* Standards and compliance (we pass);
* Architecture (a nice independent view of how well we scale);
* Our technology roadmap (they’re fans of open source - and, importantly, commercially supported open source);
* Our deployment methodology (a good, unbiased view of how we do things);
* Our support, SLA’s and training services (….we do all these things, don’t you know!?).
Butler’s Open Source CMS Review: The Take Home
In sum, Butler thinks that Squiz’s enterprise-class open source CMS is a good option for "organisations with a high volume publishing requirement such as publishing companies, media, universities, government bodies, charities, and travel firms," or, in other words, firms with "200 plus staff" and "at least 100 articles a month to publish."
Butler’s Open Source CMS Review: Even if You Don’t Read it, Read This!
The Butler Group likes that fact that Squiz is a commercial company that delivers an enterprise-class open source CMS with the option to take corollary, paid-for, professional services (such as implementation, design and development support, training and SLA’s).
In Butler’s words, web content management "is the type of market where commercial open source solutions are making inroads, particularly in the mid-range enterprise segment. There are a high number of open source WCM solutions, making this a competitive sector where vendors attempt to differentiate themselves through the implementation and support services that they offer, combined with a vibrant open source community that contributes code to the product."
