Liferay is Not Dead Yet
January 29, 2013
Gartner recognizes Liferay as a leader in portal technology. And yet, the technology is offers some would say is doomed to fail and on its way out. However, Liferay keeps carrying on. See what tricks Liferay has up its proverbial sleeve in The Register article, “Liferay’s Not Dead Yet – But What’s Keeping it Alive?”
The author begins:
“The enterprise portal market should have died years ago . . . the market was being written off almost as soon as it began. More bluntly, in a market that was limping to single-digit growth in 2008, with growth stalling since then, how could an open-source player like Liferay hope to survive, particularly given its penchant for using the company as a vehicle for doing as much social good as company profit? And yet Liferay is steering toward $100m in revenues, with financials that look dramatically better than competitors like Jive Software.”
The article goes on to talk about the humanitarian work that Liferay employees are engaged in, with the support of the company. Liferay appears to be here to stay, but so does many other open source based enterprise solutions. LucidWorks is another enterprise option that is beating the odds; a thriving company built on open source. Explore their LucidWorks Big Data and LucidWorks Search for solutions that could affordably and seamlessly bolster your enterprise.
