Sulu gold partner: adesso adds open-source CMS to its portfolio

The IT service provider adesso is now a gold partner of the Austrian CMS provider Sulu. The Digital Experience (DX) division is thus expanding its portfolio to include an alternative open-source CMS (content management system). The flexibly expandable solution addresses the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as public organisations that are looking for a powerful and affordable tool for creating customised digital solutions. As a vendor-independent consultant and service provider, adesso is now in an even better position to precisely meet its customers' needs.

The partnership between adesso and Sulu was initiated in recent months. After initial trust-based collaboration, both companies have now decided in favour of long-term, future-oriented cooperation. Previously, adesso mainly offered the CMS Drupal in the open-source sector. With Sulu, the range is now diversified and supplemented by a system that offers customers an alternative on request. As a gold partner, adesso will work closely with Sulu on future customer projects. Both parties benefit from expanded expertise, shared resources and the opportunity to develop customised solutions.

Enterprise features without licence costs

Sulu CMS is based on the PHP framework Symfony and the JavaScript framework React. The scalable and licence-free solution at enterprise level makes it possible for companies to manage content efficiently via a user-friendly interface and publish this content via various channels. The solution fulfils the tasks of a classic CMS, supplemented by functions for digital experience management, multilingualism and multi-site support. The solution can also be used as a headless CMS. This means that content can be provided via an application programming interface (API) and used in different front ends.

Version 3.0 of the continuously developed CMS will be released over the coming months. Companies using the system will then benefit from features such as a new content storage architecture, which will continue to improve performance and facilitate future expansions. Sulu's developers are also currently working on integrating AI functions.

"We are convinced that our joint customers will benefit enormously from this partnership," says Thomas Schedler, Co-Founder and CEO of Sulu. "As a digitalisation partner for companies of all sizes and industries, adesso has the necessary expertise to advise all customers and support them in practical implementation. By working closely together on projects and pooling our strengths, we as partners can offer companies customised and cost-efficient solutions that grow with their business model."

"The CMS Sulu adds an excellent alternative to our portfolio that allows us to respond specifically to our customers' wishes," says Christian Huschke, Business Development Team Lead in the Digital Experience business line of adesso SE. "The licence-free solution is a real option, especially for our medium-sized customers who are implementing their first web projects and want to scale up later. The first few weeks of cooperation with Sulu have also shown us that we harmonise really well as partners. So there is nothing standing in the way of a successful collaboration in the interests of our customers."
