About Enonic

Enonic XP is an open-source web experience platform now in version 7.6. The focus is on next-level headless CMS, making it easy to build custom web solutions, to support content production and to be able to deploy it everywhere. Designed with a technically clear to build architecture, it attracts customers with a combination of a technical understanding and quick time-to-market. 

With Norwegian roots dating back 20 years as a content management system, Enonic has managed to reinvent itself a few times. Big investments in overhauling the platform in the past years have secured a steady rate of new customers, and brought in experienced digital agencies as partners. Even in COVID19 times, this has seemingly worked well and positions the Oslo-based company well for more innovation in the coming years.

Where some vendors will focus more on what they offer out-of-the-box and how to best meet your requirements with their existing product, Enonic takes a novel and refreshing approach of using customer journeys to better meet requirements and to fundamentally develop better digital solutions. Presently the product is likely to impress both technical colleagues and content editors. 

In addition to being a modern development platform, Enonic was an early adopter when it came to web apps (PWAs). Besides the focus on headless in recent years, the product has also improved when it comes to supporting multi-language sites and working with content projects.

As a highly extensible, feature-rich web experience platform, Enonic is positioned as a cost-effective open-source alternative to proprietary and more expensive solutions.
