CONTENS CMS · Munich, Germany · founded 1999
What it is
CONTENS CMS is a content management platform for websites, intranets, extranets, landing pages and newsletters. It is described for professional communication with customers and business partners. One installation can manage multiple sites, with permissions assigned to separate areas. The CMS supports structured and nested content, reuse as copies or instances, and different output types; changing an instance updates its other placements. Publishing can be static, dynamic or hybrid, combining static pages with content loaded dynamically. Editors can work in a WYSIWYG view that previews pages as they will appear after publication. The content library offers full-text search, facets and saved search profiles. Integration interfaces include REST, SOAP, JSON, XML, HTTP/HTTPS, workflow integration and JDBC; named connectable systems include CRM, ERP, PIM, SCM, Exchange and SharePoint. Deployment options include a server, Docker container or cloud service provider hosting. Published requirements include ColdFusion or Lucee, listed database choices, and Apache, IIS or Nginx. Pricing is by individual offer. Support requests without a valid support contract are charged. CONTENS Software GmbH says it has developed content management and social software solutions since 1999.
