Nuxeo has also bolstered its UK leadership team, including the appointment of former AIIM analyst, David Jones, as the company’s Director of Product Marketing.
Nuxeo’s expansion in the UK region is being driven by strong demand for its Content Services Platform that can be configured to meet complex information management needs and requirements.
The company is building an impressive roster of prominent UK customers in banking and financial services, government, professional services and several other market segments.
According to Nuxeo CEO Eric Barroca, who is now also based from the London office, “Interest in Nuxeo is skyrocketing. We credit this to the fact that CIOs, business unit managers, and end users in UK companies are all discovering that legacy enterprise content management solutions simply haven’t kept up with modern information management demands, and now they’re looking for a better way to manage information across their organisations. Our open source approach, our ability to intelligently connect to other systems to deliver ‘content in context’ to users, and how we leverage metadata and artificial intelligence puts us in a unique position to meet these needs.”
Director of Product Marketing Jones notes, “Nuxeo’s innovative approach offers a modern solution for organisations wanting to leverage the data and content already residing in their existing systems – and to do so in a unified, personalised and intuitive way for knowledge workers.”

Nuxeo Expands UK Presence to Meet Increasing Enterprise Demand For Content Services Platforms

Varnish Software today announced a new release of its Varnish platform for API and web acceleration, streaming and DIY content delivery networks (CDNs). Varnish 6.0, the commercial version of Varnish Cache, includes new features for security, cloud deployments, cache invalidation and full HTTP/2 support. The new release is currently under limited availability.
” New features help to prevent cache leaks, support dynamic cloud environments including Kubernetes and facilitate efficient cache updates “
Varnish 6.0 provides new capabilities for overcoming challenges in the dynamic online world, helping organisations to manage their websites, apps and content delivery faster, safer, at a lower cost and more flexibly. Over recent years, mobile apps and bots have contributed to extremely heavy website traffic. Video, images and streaming consume ever-growing amounts of bandwidth. At the same time, cache leaks like Cloudbleed are a growing threat. And new regulations including GDPR herald a new era of security requirements. 
“Organizations find themselves having to fight traffic, bandwidth and security challenges while continually satisfying consumers’ hunger for fresh content,” said Lars Larsson CEO, Varnish Software. “Our latest release provides easy-to-use tools to help organisations alleviate these burdens and maintain future-proof web presences and content delivery infrastructures.”
The new features include:
<ul>
<li>Varnish Total Encryption – offers PCI and GDPR compliance. It applies a unique encryption key to every cache object following the Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256. Each request is assigned one key based on the unique fingerprint of that request, ensuring that the visitor only has access to the very specific piece of content held in the cache. The feature is VCL based and can be tailored to customers’ specific needs. Currently this is limited to beta-testers. Interested Varnish users should contact Varnish Software for more information.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>Varnish Discovery – built for highly dynamic cloud environments, such as Kubernetes or AWS, this enables Varnish High Availability (HA) to detect and adjust to changes in the environment as it scales up or down – for example, if site traffic or bandwidth requirements reach a certain level. Varnish Discovery comes with built-in support for the Varnish Administration Console (VAC), DNS and Kubernetes. Support for other new service catalogs can be easily added.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>Varnish Broadcaster – ensures that organizations can update their sites and app content fast and seamlessly on all channels. It offers an easy to way to invalidate the cache through an API, similar to the existing Super Fast Purger (SFP). Unlike SFP, it runs as a standalone, request-agnostic solution not tied to the VAC. It broadcasts any HTTP request, including PURGEs, BANs and xkey requests for cache invalidation to multiple instances of Varnish in multiple locations, including cloud instances.</li>
</ul>
HTTP/2 support – following an extended testing period, Varnish Software now fully supports HTTP/2. 
Availability and pricing Varnish is available from <a href="http://varnish-software.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">varnish-software.com</a> on a subscription-based pricing model starting at $30,000 for a three-node cluster. Varnish is also available at an affordable hourly rate from AWS, Google and Microsoft Azure. The latest release Varnish 6.0 is currently under limited availability and will be generally available during spring 2018.

<a href="http://www.nuxeo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nuxeo</a> has announced the opening of its Japan office in Tokyo. The new office in Tokyo is part of the company’s commitment to increasing its presence in Japan and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market.
A growing number of Japanese companies are looking for contemporary solutions to help them unlock the value of their information without having to “rip and replace” their existing IT investments. Organizations in Japan, and around the globe, are realizing that the outdated approach to information management requiring all content to reside in one centralized system isn’t realistic or achievable.
Modern businesses need a platform that enables them to connect to existing systems where their content and digital assets already reside, and to serve as a central hub for accessing this information in a way that is highly personalized for the user.
“Legacy enterprise content management solutions simply haven’t met the demands of companies in Japan that are looking for a better way to manage information in a unified manner throughout their organization,” said Eric Barroca, CEO of Nuxeo. “Our open philosophy, along with our advances in leveraging metadata and artificial intelligence, puts us in a unique position to help organizations better leverage the data and content already residing within their existing systems.”
With its open architecture and broad array of out-of-the-box connectors, Nuxeo integrates with numerous business solutions, productivity apps, enterprise content management (ECM) solutions and digital asset management (DAM) systems. This approach allows knowledge workers to use their preferred tools and applications to access and manage content and digital assets residing within systems and repositories across the enterprise. Nuxeo is built on a rich metadata framework that employs artificial intelligence and other current technologies to scale effortlessly and efficiently. As a result, Nuxeo customers not only enjoy a much lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than with traditional ECM and DAM offerings, but they also can develop new solutions on the Nuxeo platform much quicker and more easily, which greatly enhances the future value of their investment.

Nuxeo Opens Office in Japan to Meet Increasing Demand for Content Services Platforms

DreamHost®, a global leader in <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">web hosting</a> and <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Managed WordPress</a>, today announced an expansion of its Managed WordPress service, DreamPress, to give users even more options for powerful, purpose-built WordPress hosting.
Since its launch in 2013, DreamPress has brought affordable managed WordPress hosting to the masses in a one-size-fits all offering backed by the power of DreamHost’s open source cloud platform, DreamCompute. Living atop lightning-fast solid state drives (SSDs) and bundling Automattic’s powerful Jetpack plugin, DreamPress quickly became a customer favorite.
In late 2017 DreamHost sneakily and quietly launched a total of three DreamPress packages. These new packages took everything that users loved about DreamPress and gave them even more options to find packages that might more closely meet their needs and budget.
Starting at $16.95 per month (prepaid yearly), DreamPress Basic is the perfect entry point for users new to managed WordPress hosting. With automatic resource scaling, 5GB of storage, and basic site backups, DreamPress Basic is a great option for users looking for a seamless step up from traditional web hosting.
DreamPress Plus hits the sweet spot of price and performance at $24.95 per month. It doubles the amount of available storage space, includes advanced offsite backups powered by VaultPress, adds a daily malware scanning and repair service, grants access to over 200 premium WordPress themes, and bundles Jetpack Professional (a $299/year value) at no extra charge.
For true WordPress power users, DreamPress Advanced at $39.95 per month is the ultimate in luxury. It includes up to five telephone-based concierge-level technical support interactions per month, allows users to stage their sites in a sandbox before pushing to production, and tops out at a mind-boggling 15GB of high-speed SSD storage.
“Three is better than one! Three is better than one! Three is better than one!” said Director of Product, Managed WordPress, John Robison, while sweating three buckets in triple-digit temperatures whilst seated atop a three-humped camel, struggling to contain a triple martini within a coupe glass jauntily dangling off his triple-jointed wrist. “Turning customer suggestions into actual product improvements that make DreamPress better is absolutely our jam. Jam. Jam.” Sparks then erupted from Robison’s neck followed by a fiery explosion of metal and artificial flesh. Turns out, he was a robot. He fooled us all.
All three DreamPress plans are now available to both new and existing DreamHost customers. Easy, affordable, and powerful managed WordPress is just a click away at <a href="https://dreamhost.com/dreampress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://dreamhost.com/dreampress/</a>

Jahia announces new version of Digital Experience Manager

Content marketing – it’s a term that encompasses the cumulative digital advertising efforts that help you gain and retain customers.
Some people may find the term “customer” to be limiting. Content can be used to help you gain subscribers, followers, and partners. Even if you aren’t into the sales phase of your project or website, you can use content marketing to your advantage.
But the right strategy and material requires the technology to back it. To utilize quality, effective content on a consistent basis requires organization and planning. This makes a good content management system the foundation of a successful content marketing effort.
<h2 style="margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px">Finding a CMS to Help with Content Marketing</h2>
From articles to eBooks to infographics to product guides, there are plenty of content types out there for you to use when marketing your business. 
Whether you’re in the process of generating awareness and educating the public about what it is you have to offer or you’re trying to move a group of interested parties on to the buying phase, having the right content can make all the difference.
Choose a tool that aligns with your processes and strategies. If you’re going heavy on videos, find a CMS that complements that approach. The same goes for the bloggers, PR specialists, and authors. If you want to develop a good content marketing strategy, you need a CMS that fits your style.
<h2 style="margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px">Without Proper Organization, Content Can Suffer</h2>
The science behind content marketing is simple – answer the reader’s questions, help them solve a problem, and do it in a way that represents the ideals of your brand.
It sounds simple enough but creating a detailed content calendar or marketing strategy for the long-term means you’ll likely need a lot of content. You’ll have to keep it relatively consistent in terms of both the posting rate and the content within, while also diversifying things enough to cover all your bases.
If you aren’t organized when trying to do this, you’re going to end up leaving out important information or failing to truly provide the content that keeps people hooked.
A good content marketing effort usually requires attention to analytical reports and involves using that data as a framework for creative campaigns. Not only can a quality CMS help you stay organized, but it can help you get feedback about what content types are helping your efforts the most.
<h2 style="margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px">The Right CMS Can Improve Your Content</h2>
Some people would claim that the content itself is the true background of any content marketing strategy, not the system used to manage it. 
However, having the right system can actually help you improve your content. Once you see what is effective, what draws the most traffic, and what gets the best feedback, it becomes much easier to find the right direction to go in moving forward. 
No CMS is a miracle tool, but a talented marketer can almost always boost their efforts with a CMS that meshes well with their style.

Why a Good CMS is the Backbone of Content Marketing

dotCMS, a leading-edge, open source Java content management software company, introduces new Static Publishing features, Four Eyes Workflow approval, and other performance and security improvements in their dotCMS 4.3 release, available now. As part of the ongoing dotCMS 4.x series, these latest features and enhancements add additional best-in-class enterprise-grade features and improve the overall customer experience of the dotCMS product.
Enhancing the Static Publishing feature released last year, dotCMS now supports customers who want to save comprehensive static HTML versions of their websites to multiple locations, including local folders, AWS S3 buckets, or any external location or cloud service accessible via SCP or sFTP. These new Static Publishing features mean more customers can take advantage of the performance, disaster recovery, compliance, and security benefits that Static Publishing offers.
dotCMS’s latest release also includes a new “Four Eyes” principle workflow approval process enabling an additional level of sophistication and security for web content management. 
“The “Four Eyes” approval feature means you can require content approval by any two or more users from a user group,” said Will Ezell, dotCMS CTO. “With new laws and regulations constantly coming into fruition, those organizations that need to ensure security and consistency, like financial services, government, and higher education, can now require at least two sets of eyes – literally four eyes – on any item before a workflow action is taken.”
In addition, dotCMS has also improved the speed and efficiency of its front end development, including adding a new full-featured libsass-based Sass compiler which allows developers to compile their files in a tenth of the time, leading to quicker and more efficient updates to their web applications.

There is plenty of debate about which content management system offers the best features, the biggest return on investment, or the most rewarding experience.
The system a person uses depends on their experience managing content, the type of content they intend to manage, and the needs their current project presents. But in order to narrow the decision down a bit, many people analyze two major classifications of CMS systems.
These are proprietary and open source systems. Popular and world-renowned systems exist in both categories, meaning its hard to say one is definitively better than the other. But knowing the pros and cons of each helps you see what sets them apart, and which may be better for your need.
<h2>What is a Proprietary CMS?</h2>
As the name suggests, a proprietary CMS is a system that is considered property of a developer. That is to say, they create and (usually) update the software regularly and make their money by licensing it out to users.
Some types of proprietary systems require specific conditions for use. The user may be required to use their web hosting or other services through the CMS creator’s system. The system may also have limited compatibility, particularly because creators want to promote their own software without having to accommodate competitors.
A person who uses a proprietary CMS may be prohibited from duplicating or sharing the system and may be required to buy more licenses to expand the system’s use. Though robust in their design, these systems often lack compatibility with certain hosting services. In addition, their licensing fees can make them a little tough to acquire for smaller companies.
<h2>What is an Open Source CMS?</h2>
Open source software has been a popular option among multiple types of systems, CMS or otherwise. The ability to distribute and modify a system provides flexibility and versatility, both of which are useful to content creators and managers.
Popular open source systems like WordPress and Drupal have become some of the top choices out there. Open source systems don’t have the costly licensing fees, and they’re also usually free of complicated contracts and sneaky sign-up costs.
There’s also countless free tools and modules on the market, meaning open source support can actually rival and even exceed that of proprietary systems. Likewise, there are plenty of free themes and layouts and the systems require little in the way of setup.
<h2>Which is the Superior Option for You?</h2>
If you’re just starting out with CMS systems, you may want to go for the open source options first. They have lower costs and learning curves, and they can be adapted to your needs even as they change or grow.
This doesn’t mean there aren’t good proprietary options out there. Some systems can prove superior depending on what you want to do with them. If they have the right features, the setup and licensing costs can be well worth it in the long-run. After you use a couple systems in each category, you’ll find its easier to find the right fit.
