Hippo CMS: puts your content in control
A unique position in the Content Management landscape.
Most CMS systems focus solely on web page management. These systems are a good fit for simple marketing driven sites, where no distinction has to be made between the content and the web page itself.
But Hippo's take on content management is different.
Hippo separates content from presentation
A key element in our solution is Hippo’s powerful content repository, which allows organizations to (re)publish content through a multitude of different channels like mobile, multiple websites, I-pad or printed media. To Google Maps. Or to an Iphone geared with an Augmented Reality browser:
Powerful metadata, search and navigation capabilities
Hippo Repository has been designed as a secure faceted navigation engine and is a fully integrated and native part of the Hippo CMS solution. With Hippo CMS you can create dynamic, drill-down navigation structures and present content in different contexts. Your target audiences will find more relevant information, more effectively.
Open Standards
The Hippo content repository is not only accessible by Hippo's own powerful multi-channel publishing engine, but also through an open standards based API. This key feature allows others to easily use content in their own applications. It also introduces a very powerful concept in our modern highly individualized world; it allows others to build applications using your content. Other organizations can innovate using your content, creating a depth and reach in audiences, which is impossible to achieve in any other way.
Open Source
Hippo CMS is 100% open source. Open source is the single most encompassing revolution in the IT landscape and driver of innovation. The constant power of distributed worldwide innovation has created a pace that's hard to keep up with for closed source vendors. This openness has created more secure systems, fixing holes instead of hiding them. Hippo CMS and the Hippo community are deeply embedded in the Apache Software Foundation, the leading organization for some of the most high profile open source projects like the Apache Webserver and the Lucene search engine.
