mike-johnston Profile

Magnolia, the open source content management vendor that delivers simplicity on an enterprise scale, today announced that the Dubai-based Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC), the largest media group in the Middle East, has turned to Magnolia’s Java-based Content Management System as their strategic platform for web and mobile content. Magnolia is to replace its Vignette/OpenText system.

Magnolia will support MBC in providing its 165 million viewers with easy access to current, attractively presented information, while simplifying the organization’s editorial processes. Magnolia’s cost-effective, commercial open source approach gives MBC the same features as proprietary alternatives, with the added flexibility to tailor the system to their needs.

“Given the fast pace at which MBC must cover the news, we are delighted that they have entrusted their websites to Magnolia CMS,” said Boris Kraft, President of Magnolia Americas. “We are especially proud that Magnolia was able to meet MBC’s stringent demands of flexibility, scalability, and speed, for quick turnaround of high quality, user-friendly sites.”
