New Independent Analyst review of MySource Matrix

Leading Australian web solutions provider Squiz has announced the availability of a new, independent review of MySource Matrix, from industry analysts Ovum / The Butler Group who combine the ICT expertise of Datamonitor Technology, the Butler Group and Ovum. They produce independent and objective analysis which enables organisations to make better business and technology decisions.

This new “Technology Audit” is a comprehensive third party assessment of the fully supported open source MySource Matrix Content Management System (CMS) including its features and functionality. The report also describes and assesses Squiz, its service-based business model and how it delivers solutions to customers. Ovum's key conclusions, as detailed in the report are:

  • MySource Matrix is an open source CMS that helps organisations to create, edit, manage, and publish web-based content in a way that content authors need little or no knowledge of HTML.
  • MySource Matrix enables medium to large-sized organisations to implement cost effective open source WCM solutions which are easy to use.
  • As an open source product, MySource Matrix is free of license fees, and Squiz adds value by providing clients with professional commercial services. These are offered through a series of packages that enable customers to select the level of support they require.
  • MySource Matrix supports multiple languages, enabling organisations to produce localised content which adheres to global branding.
  • A number of tools are available within MySource Matrix to facilitate integration with third-party systems including databases, SharePoint, TRIM, RSS feeds, external website content and web services.
  • MySource Matrix has been greatly enhanced with Funnelback search technology which can also be used to search external systems.
  • MySource Matrix allows organisations to publish dynamic targeted content which enhances the user experience.

In Ovum's words, “Squiz sees a major opportunity coming from the increased adoption of supported open-source solutions in the enterprise, with some enterprises realizing that commercial open-source products such as MySource Matrix can provide comparable or better functionality than traditional licensed products without the need for expensive license fees.”

The concise seven page report is free and available for download now.
