Since becoming a Liferay partner in 2006, we have worked closely with Liferay and have seen the product mature over the years. So its increased adoption by enterprises worldwide comes as no surprise as the product’s numerous benefits are being realized. Recently, Liferay named Rivet Logic a Platinum Partner after a significant year of growth in sales and new implementations of Liferay in 2010.
“Enterprises dealing with content management and collaboration strategies are looking for best-of-breed tools as well as thought leaders who can guide them through critical decision points during the purchasing, development, and deployment cycles,” said Bryan Cheung, Liferay’s Chief Executive Officer. “Liferay provides a fantastic platform for developing web content and collaboration solutions, and Rivet Logic has become an industry thought leader in the development of these sophisticated solutions. With some of the largest deployments worldwide, Rivet Logic has earned its position as a Liferay Platinum partner and we look forward to their future success and partnership.”
We’re honored to become a Liferay Platinum Partner and will continue to deliver high-quality Liferay-based solutions to our customers while remaining active in the broader Liferay community!
Next up is the Liferay West Coast Symposium held on September 21-22 in Anaheim, CA.
Liferay is hosting its third annual East Coast Symposium (ECS) in the greater DC metropolitan area this year, which will take place at The National Conference Center in Leesburg, Virginia on May 10-11, 2011. Since the beginning, Rivet Logic has been actively involved when we co-hosted the first Symposium at our facilities in Reston, Virginia. Since then, ECS has grown exponentially each year, to which is now a full scale conference.
This year’s theme is The Liferay Platform, focusing on the release of Liferay Portal 6EE and its expansion, with session topics that address the expanded role of the Liferay Platform as a basis for the next generation of Web applications and services. The agenda will be filled with thought-provoking, eye-opening sessions that showcase interesting ways companies have used the Liferay Platform to meet their business needs.
Rivet Logic will be participating this year as a Diamond Sponsor and will feature a speaker presentation on how Liferay can be used to build and deploy a global intranet solution during one of sessions. In addition, we will be hosting the Education Solution Showcase, where we will demonstrate a uPortal to Liferay migration.
Product Partners, LLC, an exercise and nutrition market leader, launched the Team Beachbody program as a membership-based online support community that offers a wide array of fitness programs. In order to generate revenue growth, Product Partners decided to harness the existing community around its products and combine it with the power of social networking to turn the site into a revenue generating resource. By offering active community members a percentage of sales of Beachbody products that they refer to new members, it encourages increased community participation.
Liferay Portal was selected as the development platform for its flexibility and scalability to cater to evolving business requirements and future growth, as well as its low total cost of ownership. Rivet Logic was chosen as the system integrator to implement the solution, and in particular, the WOWY SuperGym application, a featured element of the overall Team Beachbody experience. The WOWY SuperGym application has resulted in stronger customer loyalty and recurring revenue opportunities through a set of social collaboration features that encourage use and membership retention.
Alfresco just selected Rivet Logic as the winner of their Americas Partner of the Quarter Award.
Alfresco Partner of the Quarter, Q2 2009 - Rivet Logic
We’re truly honored to be recognized again by Alfresco for our accomplishments. Over the past year, we’ve continued to see strong demand for our Alfresco consulting services as more and more organizations are becoming more liberal towards the idea of open source. Last quarter, we kicked off several new Alfresco projects in a variety of sectors - including higher ed, media/publishing, technology and non-profit.
We look forward to continuing our work with major enterprises, and contributing back to the Alfresco community.
Last week was Red Hat Summit and JBoss World. We participated as a sponsor of JBoss World and also gave a few presentations during the breakout sessions. Below are some highlights from our trip:

This year, Rivet Logic will be hosting Liferay’s first ever East Coast User Conference, taking place on 5/21, at our training facilities in Reston, VA. It would be an opportunity to meet some of the faces behind Liferay in person while discussing the product’s future as well as best practices.
The agenda includes keynote speakers and both technical and business tracks to cover a variety of topics. Technical tracks include “Liferay Solutions, SaaS Style” and “Social Networking with Liferay, ICEfaces, and Vizster”, while business tracks include “Enterprise Collaboration: Overcoming Issues with Big Implementations” and “Fostering Open Source Adoption Within Reluctant Enterprises”.
We are pleased to host this event and look forward to further involvement with future Liferay events.
