NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 08/10/11 — , an award-winning developer of software development and collaboration tools including JIRA and Confluence, has chosen Magnolia CMS to build -Atlassian University,- a state-of-the-art product training site, as well as a new corporate site.
After developing their own proof of concept, Atlassian selected , a Java-based open source content management system.
“Our company had grown, but our website had hit a wall,” said Jay Simons, Atlassian Marketing VP. “We were managing content using JSP pages and SVN, which was incredibly time-consuming as every change needed to be funneled through a small team of web developers. As our product portfolio and geographic reach expanded significantly, we needed to step up to a very robust, enterprise-class CMS, that would be able to integrate with our planned websites, while making it easier for our marketing staff to create and edit content themselves.”
Atlassian-s Simons describes Magnolia-s advantages:
“We have extensive in-house skills for working with Java, so it made sense for us to go with a solution built on a technology stack with which we-re familiar, save time and benefit from its proven standards. Magnolia CMS is extremely flexible, enabling us to rapidly create -self-service- pages for content creators. We now have a robust content creation, validation, localization, and publication workflow.”
With Atlassian-s rapid growth and expansion into European markets, the company needed to make the process of publishing content in multiple languages quicker and easier.
“Everyone wants a CMS to be simple, but this means different things to different users in an organization,” said Boris Kraft, President of Magnolia Americas. “Atlassian is a perfect example — their skilled web development team needs the ability to achieve complex integrations but wants the simplicity of using a proven Java technology stack that they know well. Their business users want the ability to create customized web content themselves but without the headache of dealing with complex interfaces. It-s great that Atlassian can meet both needs with Magnolia.”
Magnolia-s open source content management system delivers simplicity on an enterprise scale. Its outstanding combination of ease-of-use with a flexible, standards-based Java architecture has led to its adoption by enterprises and governments throughout the world, including ING, the U.S. Navy, JBoss.org, Johnson & Johnson, Lloyds TSB, Sony, Unilever, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
