CoreMedia looks to Australia

German-based content management provider CoreMedia is looking to ramp up its Australian presence and recruit partners, states ARN.

Last year, CoreMedia won its first Australian customer deal with ABC, which deployed its content management system across all Web sites with the help of NCS Australia.

CoreMedia vice-president of marketing, Rene Hermes, says: “These days, more consumers approach Web sites through mobiles and are more active in social networking. If consumers are active in social networking, companies need to be active there too.”

Microsoft is set to release solutions designed for digital content management, supply chain management, and business intelligence, at the 2010 National Association of Broadcasters Show, reports TMCnet.

Microsoft's service-oriented architecture-based Digital Content Management Framework solution aims to streamline production processes in the media industry.

The solution is based on the upcoming release of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 that has enhanced its content management and collaboration capabilities.

Drupal, the popular open source Web content management system, will sacrifice speed for scalability in its Drupal 7 upgrade, says Network World.

Currently, Drupal powers about 1% of Web sites, trailing WordPress, which runs about 8.5% of the Web.

Companies such as IBM and Microsoft are getting behind Drupal, with IBM releasing a number of Drupal sites and Microsoft making moves such as backing the Acquia Drupal distribution and linking the SQL Server database to Drupal.
