Learn more about the benefits of open source CMS with Ron Bongo and know how the open source concept can be used to make your business processes easier that could positively impact your bottom line.
The popularity of open source Content Management Solutions or CMS like Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress has grown tremendously over the last several years that large companies, multinational corporations and government agencies have used these resources to create their websites. The following describes some of the benefits that these high profile users get from open source CMS.
* From the beginning we have emphasized that open source does not necessarily mean it’s totally free, however for these CMS applications there are no proprietary license fees to talk about or even required. These give organizations the opportunity to spend these resources in developing the website than paying for the CMS.
* Whoever thinks that these open source CMS are not stable enough should think again as no proprietary software could ever match the number of resources from the developer community that supports these open source CMS to come out with high quality and very stable software.
* Security is not an issue as proven by CMS systems like Drupal or Joomla for example, particularly in terms of online storage and display of websites. Should there be holes found, the community of developers would readily provide patches as quickly as possible.
* With the readily available source codes, a whole load of plug-ins, extensions and other customizations can be readily obtained from the community of developers, both free and commercial, that would cater to every possible need that an organization may have.
* If anything goes wrong with a proprietary CMS application, the only support you can get will come from the single vendor which sold you the CMS. You will really have a hard time should the company suddenly shuts down, or if their support group is not as “supportive” as you would want them to be. With open source, if anything goes wrong, a whole army of developers will be right there willing and ready to help you.
* If SEO is what you need, open source CMS runs with a whole gamut of SEO resources readily available for your use: from its core design of pages, permalinks and descriptions up to additional plug-ins or extensions.
* These CMS can grow in parallel with your organization. New content, features, sections, information and anything that is part of this growth can be readily accommodated by the CMS.
* Unlike proprietary CMS that runs and administered from a specific server or computer, open source CMS is browser based, meaning company staff can access the backend and make changes or additions from anywhere with an internet access.
