Content
Joomla is a popularly used platform for designing web content and websites. It is one of the best content
management systems for controlling and organizing all web related content. Reports show that 2.7% of
the sites is developed and designed using the Joomla platform.
Joomla is offered under the General Public Lincense (GPL) version 2.0. It is stronger and stable platform
compared to WordPress or Drupal. Joomla bridges the gap between WordPress and Drupal. The Joomla
team is working towards providing the Joomla platform for lay people and administrators maintaining
websites; at the same time developing it as a strong tool for Joomla developers to enable them to create
complex custom Joomla designs for websites.
Joomla- Journey into the Enterprise Market
The Joomla platform now makes its way into the enterprise section. With Joomla it is now possible to
create a social network site suitable for the enterprise. Let’s take a look at how Joomla has evolved over
the years -
Joomla for Small and Medium Sized Businesses
Joomla is the best platform for Content Management System (CMS) used successfully for small
businesses. Joomla platform provides hundreds of add-ons that make website functionality easily
accessible. This feature attracts small businesses to prefer Joomla for web designing. It’s practically easy
to create a Joomla website. The platform provides a five step tutorial to launch a Joomla website for small
business. It’s quick and easy to design and launch a professional business site with Joomla. With all
these features Joomla now extends itself for the enterprise sector.
Joomla for Enterprise
Joomla is most popular for small and medium sized businesses; but with Enterprise, Joomla will enter a
new realm of web designing. It will remain to be a strong CMS tool and it will open immense possibilities
for Joomla developers to create attractive web applications for Joomla websites.

2. Open source software for enterprise is useful as it can be downloaded directly and checked for its
functionality. It doesn’t have to come through a vendor which accounts for easy accessibility. The Joomla
open source CMS software for enterprise is easily visible in the market. Companies like Microsoft and
eBay have helped Joomla to come out of the small-medium sized business reputation and make its mark
in the Enterprise market.
The Technology for Joomla Enterprise
The latest Joomla version includes the Multi-database support which makes Joomla function like
“enterprise glue.” It acts as a glue to “connect proprietary systems data stores and allow companies to
internally display the data.” The latest version of Joomla facilitates the use of Azure cloud services,
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or PostgreSQL. This multi-database support saves the time and money
spent on getting additional software to integrate Joomla with the enterprise databases. Joomla is
considered to have two important parts now: 1) CMS for websites, 2) Joomla platform for CMS which is
kind of an operating system for CMS. This new system helps Joomla developers to use their Joomla skill-
set to create attractive things with Joomla. For developers it is the same Joomla language and the same
way of functionality. But now they can do new and different things and go beyond the CMS. Developers
can exploit the Joomla platform for designing innovative Joomla applications.
