Oxfam choose PLONE as CMS Solution

Oxfam International is an international confederation of non-governmental organisations that are working to find lasting solutions to poverty, suffering and injustice. Its public website, www.oxfam.org, built on the Plone content management system (www.plone.org), helps build public understanding of poverty and its causes. By using Plone, people across Oxfam can collaborate and create engaging content without getting caught up in technical details.

Being open source, Plone was particularly relevant to Oxfam. Hugh Wallace, Head of Interactive Media for Oxfam GB, notes: “As Oxfam works in over 70 countries around the world, we were looking for a system that would enable us to share information across the organisation and beyond. Plone was the right choice and we’re very pleased to have the opportunity to work with the open source community.”

Joel Bassuk, Website Manager for Oxfam International, who led on the project implementation for OI said "We undertook detailed research on a variety of CMS packages currently available and from this found that the open source application Plone best met our requirements."

Hugh Wallace, Head of Interactive Media for Oxfam GB, whose team helped with the technical roll-out of the project, added, "It was also important that we work with a company which has extensive knowledge and experience of Plone implementation. By working with Blue Fountain we were able to draw on their knowledge in site development and migration to Plone."
