In this article, we will share our experience on building a successful partnership with eZ Systems. We will discuss our close cooperation with eZ and what being a part of the eZ Ecosystem means for our business.
A bit of history
Nexus Consulting was founded in 2002 as an IT company with the idea of making our own Content Management System (CMS). After one year of work, we were unable to make sound profit with our strategy of both developing a CMS and delivering customer solutions. We thought to ourselves: "There must be an easier way of doing what we do. Why can't we buy a standard solution and customize it for our customers?"
At the time, one of the co-owners of Nexus Consulting was attending the same business school as Alexander Farstad, the CEO of eZ Systems. We decided to test eZ Publish on a large project - the Nexus Study Guide. This is a system for organizing, editing and publishing information about a university's education offerings. We were very happy with eZ Publish and the flexibility of its template language. For us, it was important to find a solid framework within the Open Source market without taking too big a risk. It was a crucial factor that the solution was backed by a solid company.
Today, eZ Systems provides all the guarantees and second-line support required by our customers. This enables us to deliver faster and better throughout the entire life cycle of a solution.
