PALO ALTO, Calif. — April 7, 2010 — Ephox, a leading provider of software for improving web content management (WCM), today announced a new integration with EPiServer, the world’s fastest growing provider of WCM, online community and e-commerce platforms. The new integration of Ephox EditLive! with EPiServer CMS will bring rich, intuitive online authoring capabilities to EPiServer customers, enhancing business user productivity and improving web site quality.
“This integration provides great features to professional and occasional editors who use EPiServer CMS,” said Allan Thraen, senior solution architect for EPiServer. “Editors at all levels have come to expect desktop-like functionality when editing web content. EditLive!, which we view as one of the best WYSIWYG editors in the market, is a perfect fit with a familiar feel, nice usability and an excellent accessibility checker.”
The latest version of EditLive! includes several features that enable content creators to work together more efficiently and effectively. Templating functionality gives content administrators the ability to create reusable content templates for consistent web site styles and standards that can be employed by business users. For improved collaboration, context-based commenting capabilities enable users to comment directly on any text or object in an online document, and track conversations related to specific comments. As the only web-based editor that supports Autosave, EditLive! preserves content even if the web browser crashes or the server session times out. Additional features include broken hyperlink reporting, Auto-Correct, the ability to import Word documents, and Thesaurus.
“Through the use of its guiding principle, ‘power through simplicity,’ EPiServer has been helping its customers create unique and engaging websites. Our Rich Text Editor, EditLive!, was created on similar principles,” said Andrew Roberts, CEO of Ephox. “Now, businesses can take advantage of the power of the EPiServer CMS, while enabling their non-technical users to easily and quickly create compelling web content. This integration provides the best of both worlds.”

concrete CMS was commercial software that went open source in late 2008, quickly winning project of the month on SourceForge and much attention from a community of open source fans used to dealing with painful user experiences and scattered code. During the last year the core team behind concrete5 has been flushing out features in their CMS, along with building an active community and marketplace at <a href="http://concrete5.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">concrete5.org</a>. Now with the release of version 5.4 concrete5 has really hit its stride and the core team expects continued great growth this summer.
concrete5 powers over 35,000 websites today, with a developer community some 18,000 members strong. “We've grown very quickly since going open source,” says CTO Andrew Embler. “The core application has always been very stable, but in the past we knew there were a few areas we wanted to clean up. With the sitemap improvements and even faster AJAX editing in 5.4 we've really covered the big items on my radar. “
Some architectural changes to better support the needs of enterprise level clients have already allowed some larger organizations to choose concrete5 over Drupal, Joomla!, and WordPress. The additional changes to fully embrace the Zend framework by using Zend Cache and Zend Translate has proven well worth the investment.
“It was great fun showing off the release candidate of 5.4 at SXSW:Interactive this year,' says Franz Maruna, CEO. “We met a lot of Joomla! and Drupal developers who begrudgingly gave us 5 minutes to see the competition, only to walk away 20 minutes later lamenting about time they'd wasted on other systems. I think we showed quite a few people that you can build big powerful sites with concrete5 that really are easy to use.”

Daydream (www.daydream.co.uk), leading Open Source Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) specialists have released a whitepaper that describes a number of best practice techniques IT professionals can use to ensure that DAM is implemented successfully in large or medium sized enterprises.
The report condenses Daydream's experiences of the enterprise DAM market into a report packed with useful advice, checklists and best practice guidelines that will provide IT managers with a useful framework for developing their Digital Asset Management strategy.
The subjects covered include:
<ul>
<li>The benefits DAM systems can offer</li>
<li>Outsourcing vs Insourcing: How to decide which is best</li>
<li>A typical DAM project team: staffing requirements</li>
<li>Roles and responsibilities for IT managers</li>
<li>The importance of training to successful implementations</li>
<li>Hosting, support and maintenance of DAM systems</li>
<li>Selecting a vendor: what to consider</li>
</ul>
Ralph Windsor, Managing Director of Daydream said:
<blockquote>
“Although most DAM systems tend to be procured by marketing departments, we have found that IT managers are frequently asked to act as internal consultants and advise on best practice. There is a limited amount of information available about what to expect at an enterprise level and how to formulate an effective strategy.”
</blockquote>
Windsor continues:
<blockquote>
“Many IT managers may wrongly assume DAM to either simply about storage facilities or the same as ECM systems like SharePoint. This can be problematic when they come to discuss requirements with marketers. In this report, we aim to dispel some myths and present practical advice for successfully delivering DAM whether using internal or outsourced resources.”
</blockquote>
The 30 page report: “Enterprise Digital Asset Management for IT Professionals” is being made available free of charge via the reports section on Daydream's website: <a href="http://www.daydream.co.uk/reports.asp">http://www.daydream.co.uk/reports.asp</a>
