Reduce Complexity

Benefit from a component-based standardized web platform

A sense of agility is important to meet the demands of today’s online enterprise. Adding functionality to a business critical Website, also needs to take into account the possibility of disrupting a stable initiative. Deployment processes securing availability in complex Web environments can turn out to be rigid vis-à-vis business requirements aimed for change.
Within a components-based architecture, functionality and changes can be easily installed or removed without affecting the underlying architecture. So there’s no restarting or rebooting the system. You can continue to do your business online and leverage enhancements immediately. The underlying infrastructure which supports these components can be easily updated, while added components keep working. Additionally, the underlying system is easier to upgrade.

Webmanager Component Bundles

GX WebManager has reinvented Web Content Management by introducing WebManager Component Bundles (WCBs), a concept based on the dominant standardized component technology OSGi™. User friendly, new components can be added, removed, or updated with just a simple press of a button. It is as easy as that. No restarting, no hard- or software upgrades necessary, no technical training required. Dependencies, data conversion and migrations of single WCBs are all supported in the architecture.

Solid Architecture

A components-based architecture needs a solid underlying architecture provide a stable and mature Web Content Management System, one that performs no matter what, day in, day out. Lots of traffic, a clustered environment, lots of changes. A steep increase in numbers of users or lots of complex transactions or components should not prevent the system from running correctly, fast and most of all, reliably.

Share and exchange

Component Bundles can be developed either in-house or irrespective of timelines in the road map, by third parties such as partners, customers or individual developers. The creation of new functionality in such an ecosystem means a greater diversity of reusable components available and the ability to share what works well. GX also provides an online marketplace (www.WCMExchange.com) and certification processes to simplify finding, buying, combining or building the right WCBs for the right solution.
