Powerful, flexible and secure. Enterprise-class Web Content Management that helps your budget go further.
What is Plone?
Plone is a mature, platform independent, Open Source Web Content Management System. Since its first release in 2001, Plone has grown to become one of the largest Open Source projects in the World, with thousands of active developers and a multitude of companies specialising in development and support.
With Plone, users can start creating content in just a few minutes. It can be integrated with enterprise systems such as Active Directory, Salesforce and Oracle. As Plone is Open Source it enables flexibility not available with proprietary systems, and avoids the issues associated with vendor lock-in.
Now in its 5th major release, Plone has established itself alongside enterprise commercial systems as an ideal solution for intranets, document management and public websites for organisations as diverse as NASA, Oxfam, eBay, The University of Oxford, Warwickshire Police Force and Novell.
Plone lets non-technical people create and maintain information using only a web browser. Perfect for web sites or intranets, Plone offers superior security without sacrificing extensibility or ease of use.
Plone is among the top 2% of all open source projects worldwide, with 200 core developers and more than 300 solution providers in 57 countries. The project has been actively developed since 2001, is available in more than 40 languages, and has the best security track record of any major CMS. It is owned by the Plone Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation, and is available for all major operating systems.
