Open Source Joomla Emerges as a Top CMS Tool

The Joomla website proclaims that, "Joomla is one of the most powerful open source content management systems on the planet." Sure, they're biased about their collaborative open source creation. But there's no arguing that Joomla is quickly becoming one of the top content management system (CMS) platforms on the Internet. Late last year Joomla won the best PHP Open Source Web CMS award.

Since its first release in fall 2005, Joomla has become one of the most downloaded content management systems on the web and recently released a retooled version 1.5 in January.

How does it stack up for use within an intranet? Let's take a look at its capabilities and technologies.

Features

Out of the (virtual) box, Joomla provides all the basic features needed to create a website that can be managed day to day by non-technical content contributors. It helps remove the webmaster bottleneck by providing an easy-to-use, browser-based way to add and edit content and pages using a word processor style interface. Users can control elements such as navigation menus and page layout and have the ability to add unlimited sections to the website.

Basic content management features are included in the core such as:

Categorizing content

Archiving content

"Most read" and "latest" content

Search

Sections (ability to limit access to content based on user permissions)

Publish content to an RSS feed

Built-in templates provide a starting place from which to build your look and feel. You can customize as little or as much as you like to ensure company branding is prevalent throughout your site.

The core features are powerful enough to create an intranet portal. As with many open source applications the real power lies in the insane amount of additional functionality offered by extensions. There are currently several extensions available for Intranet and Groupware type applications: capabilities such as contacts, LDAP integration, CRM, and project/task management. Of course if the extensions available through Joomla don't meet your needs, your in-house developers can use the Joomla API to build your own.

Joomla supports multiple languages so this is helpful to companies with the need for multilingual support.

Technology

With the release of version 1.5 Joomla adopts an MVC model as the basis of its three-tiered system which follows an object-oriented pattern-based methodology and design pattern. The distinct framework, application, and extension tiers enable rapid prototyping and great extensibility.

Joomla is a cross-platform application and is written in PHP (version 4 and 5 support) and uses a mySQL backend.

Getting Started

As with most open source applications it pays to jump right in. A vast array of wiki style documentation is available at http://docs.joomla.org/ and addresses concerns from the beginner to expert.

Joomla Tutorials also offers a variety of animated and visual tutorials to help you determine if it is right for you and to get started.

As with any CMS initiative it depends on your company's size, budget, and resources to determine which solution is right for you. For Intranets and Extranets that need a lot of functionality without a great deal of complexity or cost, Joomla can be a very satisfying solution.

For more information and a wealth of everything for developers and users alike, visit Joomla's website.

Indian IT company plans big in Michigan

US based outsourcing firm Integreon, which has a presence in India, is on the lookout for acquisitions here. Investment banking sources said the company is in talks with domestic knowledge process outsourcing KPO and business process outsourcing BPO firms and at least two small buyouts for a total of USD50 million are likely to be sealed during the current calendar year.

Further, the company plans to double its India headcount from the current 1,500 in the next three years.

On the cards is another outsourcing centre in Mumbais Goregaon area with a capacity of 1,000 seats.

It currently has three centres in the country two in Mumbai and one in Gurgaon.

Liam Brown, president and CEO of Integreon in the US, said, We want to grow our business in India due to the tremendous growth potential. We are actively in talks with a few firms for inorganic growth, too, and will be able to provide details once things are finalised.

Integreons keenness to grow in India is understandable given that the country accounts for almost 60 percent of its sales.

Analysts said Integreon has to grow inorganically to consolidate its expertise in the areas of KPO and legal process outsourcing LPO, and tap the sectors and customers to a greater extent. India is a preferred destination for LPO because of the huge difference in the wage rates here and those prevalent in the US and the UK.

Earlier, in July 2005, Integreon had acquired Brahmy Solutions, a UKbased, highend analytics company. It also acquired a part of the LPO business of New Yorkbased BPO major Bowne, which provides financial publishing that year. In April 2003, Integreon acquired Contentscape, a company specialising in web content design and development.

Outsourcing -- Not Just a Way to Cut Costs Anymore

Companies are increasingly considering outsourcing for quality and expertise. Here's a look at other outsourcing trends and tips for dealing with the changing environment.

When American companies began turning to India, Uganda, China, Poland and elsewhere to staff call centers, handle paperwork, write software and manufacture products, there was one goal – to save money. But outsourcing firms have grown so good at the diverse services they offer that American companies are turning to them even if little money is being saved -- and sometimes even if they cost a little extra.

"Customer organizations realized that the service providers really were experts in their chosen fields and that outsourcing offered a range of additional benefits such as access to new skill sets, best-of-breed services, greater innovation and transformation, and better speed-to-market for new products and services," the law firm of Morrison & Foerster writes in a report on outsourcing trends for 2008.

The firm warns American companies that the falling dollar could make outsourcing even more costly, but to not act precipitously. Providers that rely heavily on U.S. clients and those with contracts that put much of the currency risk on them may push for price increases, even if they hold long-term contracts. Clients should think twice before turning them down. "Some of the more mature customers may realize that it is in their best interests to ensure that their provider is not in a loss-making situation," the report says. "…However, such price increases will come at a cost, and providers will be pushed even harder to innovate and provide more added value."

Morrison & Foerster says contract disputes and misunderstandings are still common, despite the fact that agreements are much more carefully worked out than they were in the early years of the outsourcing explosion. The report says customers themselves are often to blame. "It is clear that many of the contract management mechanisms in place … either are not being used or are being implemented poorly." It urges companies to recognize that outsourcing firms need the same type of supervision and oversight as their own operations. More time and staff should be dedicated to making sure quality, service and contractual terms are being met. Or, of course, that function can be outsourced.

Local IT services set to break $4bn as outsourcing grows

Johannesburg - The local information technology (IT) services market is expected to exceed $4 billion (R31 billion) this year, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 11 percent, according to the latest report by research firm IDC.

The growth is fuelled by economic expansion, the adoption of open-source software, government projects such as the e-government that is meant to provide technology access to rural areas, technology upgrade cycles, preparations for the 2010 soccer World Cup, deregulation, and growth in the small and medium business market.

Many firms are outsourcing non-core operations such as IT to companies such as Business Connexion, GijimaAst and IBM to save money and focus on the core business.

Software Outsourcing market transforming

New research has revealed that the outsourcing service market is experiencing significant change.

A report by IDC on behalf of I.NET, part of BT Italia, found that IT sectors are becoming "increasingly interdependent" as organisations look to meet the requirements of the market.

The study claimed that data and system security continues to be one of the key challenges facing enterprises, prompting many to seek solutions that provide "greater visibility, transparency and integration".

"They also need partners that understand what drives and what hinders ICT projects to truly respond and adapt to companies' business and IT needs," it noted.

According to the research, the "convergence" of security, storage and system management is likely to create a number of new opportunities within the ICT industry.

In related news, Gartner recently reported that 41 per cent of businesses are outsourcing IT in order to improve performance.
