Zope is a unique software system: a high-performance application server, a web server, and a content management system. It is a complete, self-contained solution, that includes a robust, scalable object database, web services architecture, and powerful programming capabilities. It is designed for customization and extensibility. Its components 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. All of this, and complete open source access, are provided without cost. There are no licensing or runtime fees for the software. Costs come into play when customers engage the Company to modify the software to implement their unique requirements.
Zope Corporation has been a tremendous partner in our project.
Working collaboratively with Zope Corporation has permitted us to
educate our staff on the product inside out, without having to
build something of this complexity from scratch. We retain the
flexibility of making changes to the source when we want to,
while leveraging the expertise of Zope Corporation and the global
Zope community. A highlight of the product is the ultra-flexible
and robust feeds-processing architecture embedded in Zope4Media.
