WordPress or Joomla? Battle of the Open Source CMS for Your Small Business
Adoption and deployment of your open source CMS is better suited as a one-time process, so do your research and choose wisely. Of course you can always switch systems, but your business processes will be better managed if you don’t waste any time dabbling in different software systems.
As a small business owner, your CMS needs can be met with an Open Source CMS platform. So Joomla and WordPress are both optimal choices for your business. However, depending on your needs one may boost your success more than the other. It is important to create a checklist of what you want from your CMS solution. For example, if you require a solution that isn’t heavily dependent on an IT department, WordPress may be the solution for you. WordPress’ platform is designed to be intuitive and requires little coding knowledge to operate. If you desire a fully functioning, multi-purpose solution then Joomla might be your ideal Open Source CMS Solution.
For the IT savvy businesses, Joomla is highly recommended as an open source cms. Depending on website interaction and how deep you want to dip your toes in the sea of not-so-basic coding, Joomla is a great choice. Just be sure to find a hosting service that is Joomla-friendly, before implementation. If you use Joomla Hosting to power your website, you can install the open source CMS in one click. Efficiency is an important offering in business software, since time = money.
Joomla has empowered many small business to run efficiently from Community-based portals to ecommerce sites. Joomla CMS is also one of the most popular open source CMS on the market. The company has also garnered an award as the Open Source CMS, shouldn’t you trust your business operations with the best?

onion.net In der zweiten Folge unserer Screencasts wird gezeigt, wie schnell und unkompliziert sich die erfassten Daten über XSL-Transformationen verwerten lassen. Auch hier gilt wie schon im ersten Teil, dass ein wenig Wissen über XSLT hilfreich, jedoch nicht erforderlich ist. Hinweis: Die Verarbeitungslogik wird im Datenbereich des onion.net Editors erstellt. Eine Transformation wird immer einem Schema zugeordnet. Sie versteht sich dabei als objektorientierte Methode, die wie in der Programmierung üblich durch Ableitungen erweitert und Methodensignaturen parametrisiert werden kann. Übrigens: Die Verarbeitungslogik wird in onion.net als Information erfasst. Dies ist eines von zahlreichen Beispielen, in der onion.net uns bei neuen Lösungen und Erweiterungen unterstützt hat.

Institute for Private Investors and DPCI Launch a New Community-Driven Private Investors Site
New York, NY — April 15, 2009
To meet the complex needs of its ultra-high-net-worth investor members, the Institute for Private Investors (IPI) worked with DPCI, an integrated technology firm, to completely rethink its website, Memberlink®, to create a community meeting place.
DPCI, a provider of integrated technology solutions for organizations that need to publish content to Web, print and mobile channels, announced today that it teamed up with Institute for Private Investors (IPI), a private membership organization, to design and deploy a new interactive Website for its member community. This initiative was driven by IPI’s desire to move away from a Listserv email-based community and provide better value and service for its members. To meet its goals, IPI retained DPCI as a technology partner to implement, test and deploy a new Website, Memberlink 2.0®, powered by Drupal’s Web Content Management System.
Since its founding in 1991, IPI has provided innovative educational and networking resources to families with substantial assets — along with their financial advisors — all within a safe harbor for the confidential exchange of information. To extend its reach without compromising the benefits that current members enjoy, IPI sought to build a flexible, modular Website to replace the existing Memberlink® site with a customized experience based on membership type and unique, member-driven interests.
DPCI and IPI undertook development of the new Website in a way that respected the varied needs of IPI’s current private investor members. Failure to service this “core” and to preserve its 90% membership renewal rate would risk compromising IPI’s mission and damage its brand. Complex user roles, access levels and preferences were created and tested meticulously to ensure that the highly confidential investor information would only be visible to those who should have access.
By customizing Drupal, DPCI provided a range of tools to allow IPI and its members to create, comment and search for content throughout the many secure areas of the site. These tools included enhanced community features such as custom profiles and alert preferences, peer networking through the ‘Request for Connection,’ private messaging, anonymous conversations, event registration and online access to resources such as event handouts and recordings.
IPI founder & CEO Charlotte Beyer believes “The integration of our online community with the educational content, all in one place, was a big step forward for IPI. The concept of community has been strengthened through Memberlink®. Still, any community must be both virtual and real, and as Harvard economist Edward Glaeser puts it, ‘Communications technology and face to-face interactions are complements like salt and pepper, not substitutes like butter and margarine.’”
With Memberlink® private investors can post questions and initiate conversations both on the site and through email. These conversations can be ‘investor only,’ eliciting advice from peers or can be flagged as “Ask an Advisor,” alerting the 197 Advisor Member and Leaders Council firms to respond. Additionally, DPCI developed the Website to be Blackberry-compatible, allowing members to access Memberlink® on the go.
With the new Drupal-based Web Content Management System in place, IPI can deliver its programming across multiple media channels and members can take advantage of a clean and flexible Website which offers peer networking, investor conversations, private messaging and restricted channels based on membership levels. The stronger and improved platform is designed to provide IPI staff with tools to easily, and inexpensively, customize elements of the site.
“Compared to the previous Listserv, the new Drupal Web Content Management System provides IPI with the tools to publish a wide range of information and offers significantly more functionality to allow members to communicate with their peers,” explained Tracy Gardner, Vice President Client Services at DPCI. “We believe this new community-driven site will strengthen the IPI brand, enhance the membership experience and give IPI a powerful platform to accommodate future business objectives.”
With a new and improved Website, IPI is able to deepen the ties within and between its parallel membership communities: advisors and private investors. Furthermore, it can now deliver an enhanced membership offering to million+ households in the U.S. and globally over the coming years.

IPI is a private membership organization founded in 1991 that provides non-commercial investor education and an online community to 1,200 ultra-high-net-worth investors from 18 countries and 40 U.S. states. Most investor members join as families, and 60 new families joined in 2008. Membership dues and educational fees are IPI’s only revenue source. IPI does not offer investment products or advice.
For ten years IPI has collaborated with The Wharton School on a program in Private Wealth Management – the first in the country. To date, 490 investors from 29 countries are alumni of the five-day program, which is offered twice a year. Last August, IPI launched a parallel program at Stanford with a similarly rigorous curriculum that attracted 44 investors from 18 countries.
