Our aim is to create alliances between the CMS players. If you are a developer you may ask the question ‘What’s in it for me?’
Developing alliances
We believe that alliances are essential in order to succeed in the future CMS market. We are so convinced of this that we have just launched our newly developed SEEEMS.FRAMEWORK. Our framework is the basis for a common platform that can be used by different service providers who want to work more closely together. The potential benefits of alliances and cooperation around a common platform are enormous.
Consider the following possibilities:
- Cheaper development for all
- Accelerating progress leading to further development
- Greater impact on development than if you use normal third party products
- Possibility of professional communities and ERFA groups which can help make correct strategic decisions about development and the future
- Correct decision making and identifying the right priorities to take the industry forward
- Compatibility between management systems meaning a standard for exchanging functionality where other systems have a maximum standard for exchanging data
- Ability to focus on what you do best and even where to sell specific functionality as part of a foreign CMS
- Better service to customers, including common written documentation and provision of online support
Indeed, we believe that an alliance will not only make all participants significantly stronger than the other commercial players, but also against all of the open source systems.
Keep your identity
The opportunities that our new SEEEMS.FRAMEWORK offer our partners and customers are unique. The whole point of the framework is not just to be a CMS but a development tool to make any CMS! This means that each partner can add their own unique features including content editing and template logic. Of course they can also use their own logo and keep the graphic identity of their user interface. They will therefore be able to maintain or restore the special features from their existing systems whilst also benefiting from the general functionality that we and other partners design.
Choice and flexibility
There is much talk on how to create a user-friendly system without jeopardising choice and flexibility. We are making this achievable as all our components can be freely combined with existing ones in order to create synergy and thus further functionality. The entire development environment and architecture of SEEEMS.FRAMEWORK is extremely flexible, efficient and easy to use.
Online administration of our new CMS gives many new exciting possibilities and content editing is also unique in several ways. We have now implemented great Front Edit functionality. See our screencast of Front Edit to learn more.
