CoreMedia CMS
CoreMedia CMS is a content management system developed by CoreMedia AG in Hamburg, Germany.
It offers a Java-based and a web-based editor with a PREview editing functionality. Content is saved only one time in a format-independent content module. This enables multi-channel delivery and consistency of data. CoreMedia CMS additionally features very broad workflow management capabilities.
CoreMedia CMS was developed in Java and is based on open standards such as XML, UML, Unicode, Java, Java Beans, SOAP, HTTP and WebDAV. All functions of CoreMedia CMS can be managed via open, Java-based interfaces (CoreMedia Unified API).
The content management system from CoreMedia is used widely throughout Europe, but with particular concentration in German-speaking countries (e.g. Germany). Some very large portals such as T-Online, GMX and the website of Germany's most popular tabloid newspaper, BILD, all use CoreMedia CMS.
Furthermore, CoreMedia CMS forms the technical foundation for the standard CMS used in all German federal government agencies, the Government Site Builder (GSB). In December 2003 German Federal Government re-launched its BundOnline 2005 knowledge management website, which is sine then based on this CoreMedia CMS re-incarnation introduced in October 2003. This particular approach of e-Government has some rather German touches: every German federal agency ultimately must use the product, and employ the same web design to boot. Thus CoreMedia technology finds application in practically every federal government ministry and agency in Germany and currently (12/2007) even the first Bundesländer (Schleswig Holstein and Hamburg) start to use the GSB Version , which now supports even accessibility.
CoreMedia CMS clients include: Bertelsmann, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, debitel, GMX, O2, EPCOS, NEC, MLP, SEAT, T-Mobile, T-Online, Wincor Nixdorf
