Why this Solution?
There are a 100's of CMS (Content Management Solutions) options on the market. Some are low cost open source code like Wordpress, which relies heavily on community plug ins to support key features. Others are enterprise level solutions which offer tools you can really build a business on, but they often are costly and difficult to ramp up with as you jump straight in to the deep end.
Instead of a 20 year old open source platform, I have partnered with a cutting edge CMS built on Amazon Cloud services for scalability and enterprise level infrastructure and a team of developers who continue to develop the platform with new features and improvements released every 4-6 weeks. More importantly, it provides me the tools I need to custom build integrated solutions for customers and the administrative panel to hand it off to them to manage easily!
