It’s Monday, the SharePoint Conference 2009 is now getting ready to head into full swing and the partner announcements are starting to emerge.Open Source CMS Jahia Gives More Control to Partners
Monday, October 19th, 2009
Jahia (news, site), an open source content management system vendor, is on a quest to further penetrate the U.S. market (among others) in addition to its French operations. The new global Jahia Business Partner Program gives partners more control and flexibility with free pre-sales support and various levels of certification, including those for VARs and SIs scenarios.
According to Jahia, they don’t want to compete with their partner network when it comes to CMS implementations. Hence, the “non-compete guarantee.” That means Jahia plans to refer almost all of the integration work to its partners — around 70 of them in 15 countries around the globe. Some of Jahia’s partners are in the U.S., the market to which Jahia is paying more and more attention.
“Being open source and not competing with services partners is unique within the open source industry… We are focusing on software and its related support…,” said Emmanuel Garcin, Jahia’s VP and GM for North America.
While having an implementation partner network is a common approach in the industry, why not do that work in-house? Why not move toward a native Professional Services approach? Sure, it’s more costly and requires you to have, grow and nurture the in-house subject matter expertise. While it’s certainly not a deal-breaker in many CMS selection processes, different organizations may feel differently about partner vs. vendor implementations.

#ARMA09: Implementing a CMS, Are We on the Same Page?
Saturday, October 17th, 2009It’s a really good question. When you have so many different departments involved in setting system requirements, how easy is it to make sure everyone comes out with the same understanding of what the system should actually do? All too often, team members from IT, legal, HR, finance, Records Management and others, come away with different expectations.
So, the even better question that the speaker at the ARMA
