Challenge was the creation of a content management system for the multitude of Mediamatic customers.

Requirements included:
• Small budget, most customers are non profit
• Network of sites, portable data and accounts, cross site updates
• Flexible data storage, types of content are dynamic and continuously changing
• Push updates between sites
• Social network functionality
• Templates easily adaptable and extensible
• A single software base for all projects
• API must be available and complete
• Maintainable by a small team

This was realized using, among others, semantic web technology, xmpp and open source components. The result is the information management system anyMeta which is in active use for more than fifty web sites.
