The proliferation of Web content management systems provides a huge opportunity, both for organizations considering an open source CM solution and for the companies that provide them. Attendees will learn the requirements for an effective CM system, and how open source solutions meet and exceed these requirements.

This session will describe the benefits of using an open source CM framework for developing highly customized CM systems. You'll learn how using an open source framework provides organizations an extensible foundation for all of your Web applications. Specifically, ArsDigita will show how its open source content management framework has been extended to deliver not only a content management solution, but also a complete Web application for WGBH, the nation's leading PBS station.
