Zope Overview

Zope is a unique software system: a high-performance application server, a web server, and a content management system. Straight out of the box, it is a complete and self-contained solution, that includes a robust, scalable object database, web services architecture, and powerful programming capabilities. Since it is designed for customization and extensibility, all its components can integrate tightly with a wide range of leading web server and database systems. Zope promotes rapid creation and deployment of complex applications, totally manageable through a web interface.

The Zope4Media platform has allowed GateHouse to focus on training journalists at weekly papers to publish daily content on the web, while not distracting them with the technology. As we bring our daily papers online using Zope4Media, sites already on the platform will benefit from the new features required by the larger sites. Our smallest newspaper will have the same tools to help grow their online audience and revenue as our largest newspaper. This technology is powerful and very flexible and Zope is clearly a leader in this field.
