NuxeoWorld

Last week I went to Paris to find out more about Nuxeo, an enterprise content management system. It seemed like a very polished product developed by a highly professional company and I was impressed by its capabilities. It’s very much geared towards Case Management and Document Management as it centres itself on workflow and processing of content items in a structured manner, with item state as a core tenet of the system.

I liked the idea of the Nuxeo Studio, a web based facility that allows changes to be made then deployed to live servers but also facilitates support of the live systems and distribution of the development effort. It also enables automatic upgrading which is a nice idea. They are also embracing the cloud with their Nuxeo Platform platform-as-a-service offering which is an intriguing proposition.

It’s a very different platform offering to the WCM systems I have implemented before, and I think this is a great niche to watch to see how it evolves. It’s a complementing system which is more about items which have lifespans and transitions between states as opposed to the web content created by CMS implementations I have done using Adobe Day CQ5, Umbraco, or Magnolia CMS.

I met some interesting people there, and I had a great evening out. I look forward to meeting you all again soon, and to the next Nuxeo event.
