eZ publish and UK local government
eZ systems and VisionWT were contacted by Buckinghamshire County Council to tender for the ENCORE National Project. This project would enable Parish councils and other County Council bodies to create community web sites at the push of a button.
The selection process was stringent as 26 Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) were reviewed for the project. Out of the 26 leading CMS environments, 6 were chosen to present to the ENCORE team. Once the presentation had been completed the selection process continued until there were only 3 in the running. One of these was eZ publish backed by VisionWT.
The chosen CMS was one already in use within other projects of the Buckinghamshire County Council and one they had already invested time and effort in, sponsored by the ODPM.
We are proud that eZ publish has been judged in this lengthy 3 month selection process by Buckinghamshire County Council as on of the top 3 content management systems which proved to be user friendly enough and scalable enough to fit their needs.
VisionWT was proud to lead the tender process with eZ publish which greatly impressed Buckinghamshire County Council and we look forward to being first next time.
