AtDrupalCon event app

Posted by saforian on May 6, 2013 at 3:19pm

Saforian, a web design agency located in Northern Virginia, developed an event app for the upcoming DrupalCon Portland. Our fun, interactive app simplifies the event experience by showing you what’s going on at the conference and the hot spots to check out in Portland, along with making it easy to connect with other Drupal lovers. Not only is the app loaded with useful easy-to-access information but the way it's presented and its user interface are incredibly fun and interactive.

Drupal and 8 other open source and proprietary CMS's evaluated by University of Florida

Posted by mherchel on December 5, 2012 at 7:20pm

Hi Everyone,

I stumbled on this evaluation of enterprise CMS's created last June by the University of Florida. The formal mission of this is to "...identify UF’s web publication needs, review the available options, and recommend an enterprise solution."

It comes to some interesting conclusions

Drupal is ranked 7 out of 8
The top three rankings are all proprietary solutions (Oracle being #1)

The end of the report weighs and grades each CMS on various categories. Its interesting to see where Drupal excels and where it was identified as insufficient.

The good news (I believe), is that many of the areas where we were identified as insufficient are being addressed in Drupal 8.

Anyway, I'll leave this here for anyone interested.

I see that batsonjay has posted a few in-depth reviews of CMS systems recently. Do you have TeamSite on your to-do list? If not, I'd be happy to fill this page in. I've been working with the complete suite since 1999.

Adobe Customer Experience Solutions

Adobe Customer Experience Solutions ("ACES" herein) is a bundle of products including:

Web Experience Management, which is essentially CQ5 and the other products acquired from Day Software (plus some enhancements since the acquisition)
Digital Enterprise Platform, which is the new name for the formerly-named LiveCycle and CRX platforms.

The remainder of the information on this page focuses on the WEM/CQ5 product only. However, Adobe had now budled the products, so that new customers must (apparently) purchase the LiveCycle/CRX products in conjunction with their CQ5 purchase.
