CMSWire: Case Study: Discovering Plone Content Management System (Part 2)

Part 2 of a two-part series looking at the CMS features which convinced DISCOVER magazine to choose Plone.

Excerpt

DISCOVER Magazine, one of the most widely read science mags in the US, had out grown its dated web publishing infrastructure. Times were changing, multi-media was big and in general Web and CMS technology had moved forward significantly.

DISCOVER chose the Plone Web content management system as the platform for managing and delivering their primary website (http://www.discovermagazine.com). The decision was made on the basis of the system's ease-of-use, feature set, strong open source community, outstanding customizability, standards compliance, reputation and delivery performance.

In part one of this two-part series CMSWire described both how DISCOVER uses the Plone Web CMS to manage its website, and how the DISCOVER team worked through the process of migrating existing content from its older site into the Plone system.

Here in part two, CMSWire reviewed some of the specific features of Plone and how DISCOVER has taken advantage of them, and then discussed a bit about the website's post-launch performance.
