Squiz Partners
Many of our most ambitious MySource Matrix Open Source CMS implementations have been built and delivered by us on behalf of our partner agencies. Our model is to provide the software (free of charge) and do the technical grunt work, so that our partners are free to focus on the front end fireworks such as design and consultancy. Drink Aware, Digital UK and the UK's Electorial Commission are all examples of sites that were built by us, using MySource Matrix, on behalf of partner agencies.
The Open Source CMS Partnership Opportunity
We see a mass of open source opportunity in the European market place. Mid- to large-sized organisations are demanding more functionality at a more competitive price point. From an implementation and delivery standpoint, this rules out many commercial CMS' as a result of their high licence costs - but leaves a rich playing field for open source solutions. The growth of MySource Matrix and Squiz confirms this. Last year our global revenues topped $15 million, and we aim to grow this number aggressively this year.

Supported Open Source Partnerships Make Sound Commercial Sense
Here’s why...
-
Our enterprise-class Open Source CMS is open source. That means it's free. No licence fees. It's also the only enterprise-class system of its kind: it's developed and backed by a big commercial firm (us). It's not a rinky dink application run by a loosely joined community.
-
Pound for pound and widget for widget, MySource Matrix beats most commercial CMS's hands down. It regularly out-performs Vignette, Microsoft, Trideon, Sitecore, red Dot and Immediacy in tender bake-offs.
-
Because it's open source it allows our agency partners to maximise their project profitability. The maths is simple. Let's say you have a £150,000 opportunity to build a handful of sites for one client. Licence fees for a commercial CMS would put a serious dent in this budget, leaving you with perhaps 60% to devote to design, build, consulting... and profit. In practice, we're usually able to deliver the CMS and a working system for the same amount. This means you can do more interesting things with your consultancy and design work, and leave yourself with a far healthier margin when the product's finally delivered. In addition, we also offer healthy discounts on our service and support time for our most committed partners, meaning those margins can get even better as time goes by.
