eZ Publish

eZ Publish is an Open Source Enterprise Content Management System (CMS) that is suitable for use as a Web Content Management System

Because it is Open Source (i.e. freely available, including all of the program code) there are a large number of developers working with it, both in the UK and internationally. This gives the end user a great deal of security - they are not bound to one supplier alone.

Uniquely amongst Open Source CMS, eZ Publish has a full time development organisation offering maintenance and support agreements (eZ Systems - link opens in a new window). This ensures that there is a dedicated team to resolve any software issues.
