Business-to-Business (B2B) is a term used to define business transactions between businesses. An example of a b to b business might be a manufacturer that only sells to a wholesaler, or a wholesale business that sells to a retail business. In other words, the b2b business does not sell directly to the consumer. Business to Consumer (B2C) organizations are the most widely known. But there a very large percentage of the global market that is dedicated to b2b marketing, and generates 100% of its revenue from Business to Business transactions. In fact, the number of B2B business transactions far outpaces B2C transactions.
The primary source of these transactions occurs somewhere in the production and distribution supply chain and is typically generated by parts, components or raw materials used to create a product, and product packaging and other parts and pieces that contribute to the final product that is sold to the consumer. As b2b markets expanded, the term Business to Business came to be associated with many types of goods and services sold by one company to another company to satisfy a business need. These items can include supplies for use by the employees of an organization.
Whether your business to business organization is large or small, you cannot afford to ignore the opportunities provided by a robust Content Management System (CMS). With the rapid growth of b2b marketing, many organizations use a CMS solution to provide information about wholesale products, and to allow business clients secure access to account information, orders, shipments, and upcoming product announcements.
Elegant MicroWeb encourages its b to b clients to consider Content Management Systems to promote and sell products and services, and to share information with business partners through CMS solutions that provide document management, searchable user lists and user profiles, newsletter services, email lists, and export of information to CRM, ERP and other systems. Using CMS systems and internet access to connect with business to business stakeholders can satisfy all manner of business relationship information and data. These open source CMS solutions are easy to use and easy to secure, where the b2B organization wishes to provide password-protected access to orders or other sensitive information. A cost effective enterprise or enterprise CMS web site or portal is as important to the business to business enterprise as a retail promotion and shopping web site is to a business to consumer enterprise.
How Can Content Management Software Help my B2B Business? Content Management solutions are no longer restricted to packaged software applications. The original CMS systems offered simple file taxonomy and structure; whereas today’s CMS solutions have evolved to open source, off-the-shelf CMS modules, templates and frameworks. These more sophisticated tools allow clients to meet specific business and usage requirements and to customize CMS applications to achieve business goals.
CMS experts offer customized development and enhancement. Once these experts identify an appropriate framework of CMS tools, content, site maps, web design, templates, workflow and access rights, end users can easily manage the content and site, without the assistance of programmers or developers. The site and content may be updated by content generators, editors, moderators or others within your organization. Content Management Software may also be integrated to provide interoperability with other systems used by your company. CMS solutions and CMS tools provide value through scalability and improved portal performance.
We believe that every organization can benefit from a Content Management System (CMS). CMS frameworks, tools and templates like Joomla, Drupal, dotCMS, Liferay Portal, SharePoint and JBoss Portal can be broadly or specifically applied to address any of the following requirements.
Should My Company Hire an Expert to Implement a B2B Content Management System?
It takes specific experience, innovation, creativity and intelligence to design and develop a Content Management System. The team must be educated in all available CMS tools and templates, and understand the exchange of information and products and services unique to the business to business enterprise. The CMS portal or web site must be created with full insight into appropriate design and development. CMS experts have an understanding of what is required to create an appealing, yet simple interface. Many b2b organizations do business with industrial, wholesale and distribution clients and in some instances with global clients or suppliers. If the CMS web site is not designed for simple access and use, business revenue and web site traffic will suffer. The b to b CMS web site must be logically organized, with meaningful content; a well-conceived access policy, appropriate security, and great usability and interoperability. If your business to business content management system is to succeed, it must utilize appropriate CMS solutions and CMS tools, carefully selected to meet your customer requirements, objectives, goals, schedules and budgets. This selection is a complex process.
There are many content management software solutions, each with a different philosophy, theme, theory, functional architecture and scalability. The newest Web 2.0 standards and evolving social networking platforms include stringent requirements to ensure interoperability with internal and external company systems. When selecting the CMS solution, one must also consider available bandwidth and processing power, Search Engine mechanisms and SEO paradigms, as well as client and server side technology, platforms and trends. In truth the task of selecting, designing and developing a b2b content management system is complex and should be approached only with the assistance of experts who fully understand the available CMS tools and the unique issues faced by the business to business organization.

Business to Business (b2b) Content Management Systems (CMS)

Efficiency is something that is continuously cited by businesses as something they take very seriously. However, despite this prioritising of efficiency, relatively few businesses actually invest in infrastructure that could help them to become more efficient. This means that while many businesses are operating well, they aren’t necessarily achieving their full potential. Read on to find out how relationship management and <a href="http://www.sage.co.uk/crm">CRM software</a>can help you to better understand efficiency and improve your company’s operations.As you might expect, if you want your business to become more efficient, you need to understand your customers. Who are they? Why do they use your business? Which customers are worth the most to you? Knowing the answers to questions like this help you to develop a strategy to move your business forward, and you can integrate your relationship management data with your business’s aims and goals.
This is something that <a href="http://www.sage.co.uk/crm">a good CRM system</a> will be able to help you with, taking a lot of the work out of your hands and making it easier for you to review and analyse customer data. For instance, <a href="http://www.sage.co.uk/crm">CRM systems</a> can store information on the process of your relationships, from the point where you open negotiations with a customer to the point of closing the sale.
Keeping track of things such as this is really useful for businesses. It allows you to sit down afterwards and work out how the process went. Was it as efficient as it could have been? How long did it take? Did it take more or less time than similar sales? What is the sale worth to your business? Is there room for improvement? This is information it could take a while to compile if you did it all yourself, but CRM solutions help to speed things up as well as making them clearer – which is already a step in the right direction towards efficiency.
Relationship management can also help you to understand efficiency in other areas of your business. For instance, how do you correspond with your customers and contacts? How often do you do it? How long does it take you? If you currently find the process of developing and distributing a company newsletter time-consuming, for example, you might find that you can improve the efficiency of the system by looking for CRM solutions.
Overall, this will not only help you to understand the efficiency of your business better, but will also give you greater insight into your customers. This really matters, as giving the best possible customer service is vital when it comes to long-term business success.

New release of Contensis brings new extensions and productivity tweaks

<a href="http://www.opencms.org/">OpenCms</a> 8 has made the work of a content editor easy as never seen before. Everything you need to create beautiful web pages is within reach on the page itself.
With OpenCms 8 new or existing content can be created or added with the Add Wizard by drag &amp; drop. Content can be edited directly on the page with OpenCms 8's built-in editor. The used template or the appearance of an element can be changed with a mouse click. Lists are generated on the fly and arbitrary JSPs are added as Dynamic Functions.
Favorites lists can be created with OpenCms 8's built in clipboard to short cut workflow.
With OpenCms 8's Sitemap Editor entire website structures could be built from scratch within minutes from a set of predefined, reusable model pages and navigation is built automatically from the website structure.
Version 8.0.3 of Alkacon Software's successful open source website content management system OpenCms 8 is now ready and available for download from alkacon.com.
With the introduction of “Function Pages”, JSP based dynamic pages can be added with simple drag and drop in the sitemap editor. JSP function elements can now have multiple formatters to be used in different containers.
The sitemap editor's improved “Create Page” dialog offers a wider choice of types distinguishing “Container Pages”, “Type Pages” and “Function Pages”. It is now also possible to select the page model when using the sitemap editor's context menu option “Create sub-page”. The available container page models can be accessed for editing directly from the “Create page” dialog in the sitemap editor. Additionally the sitemap editor executes the “Show page” action if the page icon in the sitemap is clicked.
ADE Galleries have been improved with a text search field to directly search for “Galleries” and “Categories”. Uploaded elements are now directly visible in the Galleries and the improved upload process translates filenames to avoid special chars but preserves the title property.
The Image Gallery now allows selecting images directly with double-click and offers a simplified scaling mechanism and an improved link selector.
An element's option bar now displays “Resource is currently locked” icon in ADE when resource is currently edited by another user in a multi-user scenario.
The classic OpenCms workplace now features a sophisticated mechanism to keep the internal link structure intact when a folder is copied.
With version 8.0.3 OpenCms now supports the latest PostgreSQL “stable release” version.
As true open source software, OpenCms is free of licensing costs.

This year I chose to sponsor PacktPub's Open Source Awards by publishing and sharing the news of the various steps in the voting and nomination process. In return for the CMS Critic logo being posted on the awards page, I would publish their news releases as the process progressed.
Unfortunately, I have grown to regret offering to act as a sponsor. One of the things that I've noticed this year more so than others is how poorly organized these awards are. They seem to serve more as a marketing tool for PacktPub to drive traffic to their site than to add value to the community. Sure, there are monetary values attached and it's great that these prizes are awarded to worthy projects but there are also serious flaws in how these awards are run.
Take for example the “Best CMS for Ease of Use”  category.
One would expect a CMS that is actually easy to use and has a history of being easy to use to win this, right? Guess who won this year? Drupal.
Drupal is a great project, but if there is one thing it is not known for, it is ease of use. Drupal has to be the absolute last CMS that I would ever name in this category. It's not shooting to be the easiest, but rather the most versatile and that is one of it's strengths, but to give it this award is just plain ridiculous.
I am not attacking Drupal. I am a huge fan, but even the members of the Drupal community have to be honest and admit that this is a bit far fetched. I chose to use it as an example because it's a very good one.
There are tons of open source projects out there that do not have huge communities of people that can vote for them and this is one of the ways these awards fail. They rely on voting from the community.
I'm all for giving the public a chance to vote but let's be realistic here. If you pit the huge community of Drupal, Joomla or WordPress users against another smaller project, who do you think will win in sheer volume of votes? Does this mean it's indeed a good indication of which CMS is best? Not at all.
This isn't just about CMS though. This is about the awards as a whole. Most of the winners are well known projects that have been well established for quite some time: JQuery, Blender, Gimp. All wonderful projects with huge communities. There are a few that won that are lesser known and I'm very glad they got the recognition they deserve such as ImpressPages, for example, but they are the exception to the rule.
I don't want to sound like I'm putting down the winners of these prizes. I think it's great that they are getting cash for their projects and there are plenty of great projects listed. I simply do not think the awards themselves add any real value other than to contribute money and provide Packt with some extra traffic for the 3 or so months they run.
As I mentioned, CMS Critic acted as a sponsor this year and, as expected, Packt kept in touch with me to let me know of the various stages and how they were progressing so I could publish stories keeping the community informed. Then came the time where the winners were announced and I received not a single email to inform me of any winners, no press releases, nothing. In fact, I completely forgot about the awards until I saw a post somewhere else mentioning the winners. Yes, it's partly my responsibility to keep on top of these things but one would also expect that they would be in contact to ensure the proper amount of promotion is given to the winners, and I didn't hear a word.
Perhaps I'm expecting too much, I don't know. What I do know is that I won't be sponsoring next year.
I'm not here to just rant (although I do it well). I'm here to offer suggestions on how I would fix it as well, and here they are:
<ol>
<li>Implement proper judging by a group of known open source advocates and experts in their respective industries.</li>
<li>Maintain voting for a “People's Choice” set of awards for purely recognition purposes with no monetary prize assigned.</li>
<li>Bring in some other sponsors to up the prizes amounts and allow for more competition.</li>
</ol>
What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Do you have a better idea? I'd love to hear from you below.

My Take on PacktPub's Open Source Awards

With version 3.4.1, Kajona widens its portfolio for interfaces and functionality. Besides a redesign of the authentication-subsystem, the release “connectivity” introduces a new oracle-driver along with new REST-interfaces.
Portal and Pages
<ul>
<li>The portaleditor is enriched by functions to handle inactive elements directly in the portal. It's now possible to set elements inactive and active in the portal.</li>
<li>Due to internal optimization of the page-generation, pages are now generated way more faster then before and are delivered to the browser even faster.</li>

<li>A lot of Kajonas' internal methods are now available via a REST-interface. Using this interfaces, a simple experimental Android app was written in order to proof the general functionality.</li>
<li>In order to simplify the development of xml-based methods, the framework supports the developer with a new annotation “@xml”. Methods marked with this annotation are available via the XML interface whereas classical methods remain hidden to the XML interface. WADL-files, the specification of REST-interfaces, may be generated by Kajona on-the-fly.</li>
</ul>
Framework
<ul>
<li>A new driver for oracle-databases was added to the database-layer. Since the driver is still under development, it should be used for test purposes only.</li>
<li>Incoming requests are now handled by a new request-dispatcher and delivered to the matching subsystem. This unifies the the control flow within the framework. Developers should investigate the changes made to the base-class “class_root”. The class is now subject to the same object-lifecyle as common, extending objects and interacts the same way in case of persistence. Furthermore, abstract base-classes are now possible within the model-hierarchies.</li>
</ul>
Outlook
<ul>
<li>According to the current release-schedule, Kajona V3.4.1 is the last release of the 3.4 series; nevertheless the branch will still be supported with security fixes.</li>
<li>Up from now, the team will focus on the version 4.0, restructuring many parts of the system. More details will be published on the kajona-page in the near future.</li>
