How to Select a Web CMS Solution

For organizations that are looking for a CMS solution to manage their websites, intranets, or portal sites there are literally hundreds of potential platforms from which to choose. CMS platforms vary significantly in price, design, functionality, and in many cases, provide far more than just content management capabilities. As such, there is more to consider than just how content is managed.

On December 16th, three expert panelists (Irina, Scott & Carmine) from industry leading CMS consulting firms will get together on CMS-Connected to discuss the complexities of selecting a CMS solution, with the goal of providing industry insights that will help you to effectively evaluate and differentiate CMS solutions and ultimately make a more informed purchasing decision. Attendees can also send in questions for the panel via Twitter during the live event.

Summer Heats Up for Falcon-Software

JULY 20th, 2011

Falcon-Software is proud to announce the signing of several new web content mangement contracts for this Summer:

The Dufresne Group
Winnipeg, Manitoba (Kentico CMS Solution)


Pictured above: One of Dufresne’s Ashley Furniture store locations.

Kofax, Inc.
Irvine, California (Sitefinity CMS Training)

First Continental Mortgage
Houston, Texas (Elcom CMS Solution)

General Board of Global Ministries
New York, New York (Elcom CMS Solution)

Ontario Real Estate Association
Don Mills, Ontario (Sitecore CMS Solution)

The company has been on quite the roll of late, running production to near capacity for over16-months with no slow down in sight. To help alleviate potential over-capacity issues, Falcon-Software is hiring once again and has recently secured an additional 2,000 square feet of office space at the corporate head office in Victoria.

In addition, Falcon-Software has also recently increased the production staff by 15% and has promoted Mirko Freund to Senior Web Architect. Mirko has been working with the company as a .NET Web Application Developer, bringing a wealth of talent and experience to Falcon’s development core and assisting in the advancement of our enterprise application integration capabilities. Mirko previously worked at Proximity Technology in Hamburg, Germany as their  Senior .NET Web Application Developer, and has over fifteen years of extensive experience.

“Although, we are very excited with the recent new account announcements, it certainly does not paint the whole picture of what’s truly going on in production for us heading into the summer months”, states Gary Eisenstein, President of Falcon-Software Company. “Our top 5 most active accounts in 2011, have loaded us up with enough project work to carry us straight through until Fall”. “That combined with the newly acquired accounts and the ever flowing smaller projects makes for a very busy time at Falcon”, says Eisenstein.

 

 

Tightly integrates social community software with a sophisticated marketing platform

Telligent, a leader in enterprise social community software, demonstrates the powerful combination of Sitecore’s CMS and Digital Marketing System with Telligent Community at Sitecore Dreamcore 2011 North America from April 19-20 in Boston, and to a sold out audience at Sitecore Dreamcore Europe from June 5-7 in London.

Dreamcore 2011 is a professional development and networking event that includes business and technical sessions tailored to the needs of partners and customers.

Marketing complexity has increased due to new social layers, tools that are disconnected, difficulty in managing and blending together owned and earned media and customers trusting peer recommendations 5x greater than company advertisements. Plus, customers want to interact with brands in multiple channels in a consistent, mutually beneficial way.

The events enable Telligent to show marketers how they can integrate advanced marketing platforms (e.g., CMS, email, marketing, commerce, analytics, etc.) with a best-in-class community platform to provide organizations with a stronger brand experience and deeper relationships throughout the entire customer life cycle.

“The Telligent and Sitecore integration helps organizations move from a linear to a circular marketing model by integrating content and conversations among customers, employees and the company,” said Wendy Gibson, Chief Marketing Officer of Telligent.

Sitecore is a leading CMS software provider that enables companies to deliver compelling web experiences. Sitecore’s award-winning CMS software makes it easy for businesses to create and update dynamic, full-featured Web sites of all types. Sitecore’s industry leading flexibility and scalability allows companies to better leverage their content, improve customer experience, and drive business growth.

Telligent Community, the market leader in social community software, supports a number of the largest and most widely referenced communities in the world. With both Sitecore and Telligent built on the Microsoft .NET platform, the integration accomplishes the following:

  • Showcase Telligent-powered blog, forum and file content in a Sitecore-powered site using native Sitecore controls
  • Links customers and prospects to a dedicated community site for further engagement
  • Displays relevant content inside community based on tagging
    Allows single sign on to access all content and engagement

Recently, Telligent announced new integrations for both Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Lync. More information about the Sitecore and Telligent community integration can be found on the Telligent Marketplace on Telligent.com.
