GX WebManager editions

With our Outside-in vision we try to map our content management system, GX WebManager, to the markets we serve as well as possible. To do so we bring various editions to the market.  The two editions are for production use by our end customers (the Corporate Edition) and at developers (the free Community Edition).

The Corporate Edition is for Enterprises, public institutions and other organizations that need a web content management system that is professionally supported by GX or one of our partners.It's availbale through a perpetual license or through monthly subscription.

The free available Community Edition, including the Software Development Kit, is aimed at developers. This edition is supported by the GX DeveloperWeb community. The goal of this community is to realize the full potential of GX WebManager and to add functionality in the form of WebManager Component Bundles (WCB’s). You can download this free Community Editions from GX Developerweb. There you will also find a forum, documentation and blogs from recognized developers.
