BOSTON (Business Wire EON) February 27, 2008 --
PaperThin, Inc., the leading ColdFusion-based Web content management
vendor, today announced that Ping Identity has sunsetted its open source
content management solution in favor of the CommonSpot™
Web content management system.
“Considering the size and support of our
development team, an open source content management application is very
limiting. CommonSpot solved two primary problems for our marketing team:
it facilitated direct editing by marketing content creators, and it
provided a deep and rich set of features that would have taken us years
to develop in Ruby on Rails,” said Marty
Halpin, director of operations at Ping Identity. “Our
previous solution did not provide the reliability or stability we
required. CommonSpot has also been an excellent choice from that
perspective.”
“While right for some organizations, open
source applications require a solid development and support
infrastructure to keep pace with the constantly changing business
landscape and evolving feature set requirements. It's easy to
underestimate the amount of work and time required to complete a
project. Additionally, total cost of ownership for an open source
solution can often exceed that of an out-of-the-box content management
system—defeating the purpose of moving to an
open source CM solution in the first place,”
said Bob Cellucci, senior vice president of PaperThin. “We've
seen many organizations that had opted to build a proprietary CMS now
rethinking those decisions in favor of buying a well-developed and
supported system.”
Ping Identity chose PaperThin partner RainCastle to implement the
content management solution. “The
re-implementation of the Ping Identity website in CommonSpot provided an
excellent opportunity for giving non-technical Ping Identity personnel
all the tools they needed to easily control and maintain the site on a
day-to-day basis” said John Canestraro, vice
president of Raincastle Communciations. “In
addition, Ping Identity needed a solution that allowed them to grow and
expand the web site and its capabilities. CommonSpot provides that
platform for growth.”
Recently released, CommonSpot version 5.0 empowers organizations of all
sizes with a flexible, scalable and easy-to-use content management
solution for greater productivity, faster time to market, and the
ability to easily adapt the system to meet their complex needs.
CommonSpot gives organizations such as Ping Identity the ability to
focus on their business—rather than on
developing and supporting content management initiatives—helping
them achieve better business results.
