Nuxeo: Enterprise CMS Updates, New Products and A New Blog
CMSWire hasn’t talked a great deal about open source ECM provider Nuxeo lately, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been hard at work enhancing their CMS solution and building new products — they have. In fact, we had an opportunity to see just what Nuxeo has been up to lately – new Digital Asset Management Product to name one thing – and where they are headed next year – dare we say the cloud?
Jadu Bridges the ‘Skills Gap’ Between PHP and .NET
Jadu, the Web Content Management vendor, has released a product that will help bridge the gap between PHP and .NET software development languages. The company’s Phalanger PHP compiler will allow PHP applications to be compiled into the .NET framework.
This new product from Jadu will help bridge the gap between .NET, a common application framework found in corporate environments, and PHP, the most popular web programming language found on open source web services on the Internet. As a result, companies should be able to shave off application development costs.

But the story of project costs is not just a tale of license price. There’s a lot more money to spend implementing an Enterprise CMS.
