Key Capabilities

Hippo CMS is a Java Open Source Web content management (WCM) solution that drives high performance Web properties. Hippo’s focus is to enable organizations to empower audiences to consume content on their terms.

Open & Demand-Driven Architecture

Hippo features a unique demand-driven architecture that goes well beyond building simple Web site strategies, and instead enables you to build audience empowering Web content strategies. Hippo’s Context-Aware Content Server enables you to manage and deliver context enriched content that uses visitor attributes to deliver personalized experiences.

Powerful Mobile Platform

Whether it's iPhone, Android or other mobile device formats - Hippo CMS will adapt to your needs.  Your content platform can automatically reformat to be served in the optimal way and in the correct screen formats for any Web browsing client.

Architected For Multi-site Management

Manage as many Web sites as you need using one content repository, and one implementation of Hippo CMS. Share global resources such as images, documents, web content and template design – while you deliver content to multiple web properties, with different looks, to different devices and in different formats. See how Incisive Media uses Hippo CMS to drive more than a dozen publications, serving 20 million monthly viewers.

Integrated Marketing & Social Suite

Use Hippo’s behavioral targeting to empower your audience to receive the most contextually relevant messages.  Hippo’s context-aware engine engages your social networks as they provide user-generated content. And, full integration with leading Web Analytics tools provide insight into users, which campaigns are performing best and how you can optimize your audiences Web experience.

Drag & Drop - Intuitive Interfaces

Just as audiences are unique, so are the people that manage the content. Hippo’s focus has always been to provide both an intuitive interface “out-of-the-box” combined with the ability to customize the interface to the unique needs of your business.

Enterprise Workflow & Approval Capabilities

Hippo is built for the global enterprise, and features easy-to-use workflow and approval controls. Additionally, Hippo CMS can save versions of document every time the document is published or unpublished. And, draft versions can also be saved whenever a user likes. See how The Vatican deployed a scalable, interactive process to publish multilingual Web content.

Faceted Navigation & Search Interfaces

Audiences should navigate through your content in a way that makes sense to them. Using Hippo’s dynamic, faceted navigation and search capabilities, one single set of content can be found using multiple, faceted paths. See how The Government of the Netherlands uses Hippo to deliver a uniquely personal experience for its Web audiences.

Manage Multiple Content Channels

Whether it’s a personalized Web site, a Flash application, social media, intranet portal, iPhone app or even print – Hippo CMS is built to deliver content wherever and whenever it is needed. See how the University of Southern California uses Hippo CMS to deliver multichannel content to its users.

Deliver Global Content In Any Language

Hippo is a global company – and supports global content solutions. Managing and delivering content in any language is a differentiator for Hippo. And being able to deliver this content automatically to users based on location, device, or preference is a key capability. See how The Vatican uses Hippo CMS as their solution to deliver content in multiple languages.

Enterprise-Class Scalability

Hippo CMS powers some of the largest and most visited Web properties in the world. Built from the ground up for speed and scalability, Hippo CMS is built to scale to tens of thousands of content managers, and tens of millions of unique consumers of the Web content. See how FindLaw uses Hippo CMS as way of publishing more than 50 content pieces per day, to over 14 million subscribers.

Use External Authoring Tools

Whether it’s desktop productivity tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or ECM’s such as Sharepoint, Stellent or Documentum, Hippo CMS can empower your users to author content in other tools for ultimate delivery to the Web. See how Hewlett Packard integrates Hippo to get a “360 degree view” on the health of a corporate network.

Standards Based Integrations

With a completely Java based open source architecture, integrations are core to Hippo CMS. The modular framework allows for utilizing the Hippo Content Repository as a singular repository, while allowing other applications to access this content as they need it. The Hippo suite contains filters to utilize frameworks such as Spring, JSP and Ruby – and of course integration with JCR is standard. Hippo also features out-of-the-box integrations with Microsoft Sharepoint, Documentum, Alfresco, Oracle Portal and other ECM solutions.
