ELK GROVE, CA – March 31, 2011 – eZ Publish, an international leader in open source content management solutions now is even more powerful, extensible and user friendly with the release this week of version 4.5 by its creator, eZ Systems AS.
“As an implementer of eZ Publish enterprise content management solutions, we're excited about the improved tools version 4.5 contains,” explained Greg McAvoy-Jensen, executive director of Granite Horizon LLC, a leading web development firm that works exclusively with eZ Publish. “It includes improvements to the eZ Flow editing process, improved front end functionality, HTML 5 video support and a new work flow feature that help track content through the publishing process.”
eZ Systems also announced the establishment of “eZ Market,” a software exchange that will allow eZ Systems' partners like Granite Horizon sell self-developed extensions on an international basis to enterprise clients. “Extensions” are the computer programs that increase the capabilities of an existing program.
McAvoy-Jensen noted that in the past year Granite Horizon has seen a growing interest in open source content management systems – and eZ Publish in particular – by organizations looking to conquer their online publishing needs. “It's not just the traditional media that are discovering the needs for the effective cross-channel publishing that eZ Publish can provide,” he said. “It's industrial companies, manufacturers, professional service companies and even non-profits realizing they are in the 'publishing' business. They have catalogs, flip books, white papers, newsletters and email marketing campaigns all of which can be simplified when looked at in a manner that integrates and leverages the cross-channel efforts.”
