As a trusted advisor to many major enterprises who are using or considering open source portals and enterprise/web content management, we see first hand how real the trend is toward open source and away from proprietary software. However, many of our clients are unwilling to discuss publicly their growing adoption of open source (for the most part, they don’t want their competitors to know).

So it’s always great to see public recognition of leading enterprise open source platforms, especially when it comes from the likes of Gartner.

As Liferay’s CEO Brian Cheung points out, Gartner has recognized Liferay in two of its Magic Quadrants, Horizontal Portals and Social Software.

Well deserved.

We just published a new case study on one of our projects in the public education sector. The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) does great work for advancing public education goals at the US Federal and State levels, and open source portals and content management from Liferay and Alfresco help them collaborate, find, and share critical information in support of many of their projects.
