Amplexor, which specialises in enterprise content management (ECM) has been appointed a Silver Service Partner by Liferay. Liferay is a leader in portal and collaboration software and offers its platform as commercial open source software.  This means that the source code is available to the customer and the community, but customers are also sure of support and the solution of critical bugs by paying for a support contract.
Market demand for portal solutions has increased strongly in recent times. Organisations are trying to increase their efficiency by giving personnel, customers and partners personalised access to information and applications. In this way, a "self-service" environment is created, which cuts costs.

The Liferay platform is a rich environment that provides simple access to this information and these applications by means of innovative technology and a user-friendly interface. For this purpose, Liferay uses over 60 functional blocks ("portlets") as standard to construct the portal. For example, these are portlets for Document Management, Wikis, forums, social networking sites etc. Since Liferay's software is based on open standards, it is simple to integrate with existing applications.

Amplexor has tremendous know-how and experience in content management. Thanks to this partnership, Amplexor can now develop portals and collaboration environments too for its customers. Furthermore, any customer who wants to receive extra service and support in using Liferay's portal software can do so by taking out a subscription. 
Eric Pieters, CEO of Amplexor says: ”There is steadily growing demand for specific software for setting up community portals and collaborative websites. Open source software is becoming ever more popular. This partnership enables us to offer our customers expertise in this field too."
